The late Wilma Mankiller was a leader who united her people, and believed she worked on their behalf. We need more leaders like her.
#WilmaMankiller overcame many obstacles to become the Principal Chief of the @CherokeeNation, and improved the lives of countless #NativeAmericans. A great article about her incredible life: allthatsinteresting.com/wilm…

Wilma Mankiller, 1st female principal chief of the Cherokee nation said, "Cows runs away from the storm while the buffalo charges directly toward it and gets through it quicker. Whenever I'm confronted with a tough challenge, I do not prolong the torment. I become the buffalo."
