π£ HAPPY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' DAY π£
In 2003, Wilma Mankiller spoke to Nashers about her experience as the first woman elected as Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation. She served for 10 years, dedicating her life to advocating for education, healthcare, housing services and improving Nation-to-Nation relations with the federal U.S. government.
On this day, we celebrate Native people's heritage, moving away from narratives of violence and white supremacy toward education, repair, and advocacy.
