Former Cherokee Nation Chief Wilma Mankiller Dies


Former Cherokee Nation Chief Wilma Mankiller died Tuesday after a long battle with cancer. There's not much more I can add to the previous post of mine where I discussed her grim diagnosis.
She was an inspirational leader to me, particularly in regards to her efforts for freedom on tribal lands, particularly for press freedom. I've often and still often wish our tribe would emulate her leadership.
My prayers go out to the Soaps and the Mankillers.
