Mankiller: A Chief and Her People by Michael Wallis, Wilma Mankiller

5.0

I'm a proud Cherokee but I grew up in a white household and didn't learn any of my culture, history, or what it meant to be Cherokee. I didn't even become enrolled in my tribe until I was 21. so I'm very late in learning exactly who I am. but I'm working very hard to remedy that. this book taught me so much about the cherokees and native Americans in general. plus I gained a new hero. I highly encourage everyone even non natives to read this just to gain a new perspective and a new respect for what my people were put through and honestly still being thru by our federal government. of course this went on my buy list.
