Native American women have left an important legacy of being strong leaders. When writing our book, we strived to find evidence of the early Native American women, to tell their stories. Sadly, many of their names have been lost to history; much of early Native American culture was an oral tradition. In this edition of our newsletter, we are proud to profile Nancy Ward, Sarah Winnemucca, Annie Dodge Wauneka, and Wilma Mankiller. These leaders literally fought in battle, fought for the rights of their people, and worked to make lives better for all.
