Hawaii’s Queen Liliuokalani (Kanaka Maoli) is remembered as a fierce advocate for her people. Wilma Mankiller (Cherokee) was a trailblazer and an important figure in developing the Cherokee Nation’s self-governance.
Those are among the many Native women who distinguished themselves in the face of adversity. For Women’s History Month, Native America Calling is celebrating prominent Native American women leaders.
