Native Women of Courage
Discover 10 Native American women who followed their paths, challenged traditional stereotypes, and fought discrimination against indigenous people. These biographies from both historic and contemporary times portray idealistic, motivated women who achieved success.
Some of the women are fairly well-known, such as Wilma Mankiller (first woman chief of the Cherokees), Winona LaDuke (environmentalist and vice presidential candidate), and Maria Tallchief (ballerina for the New York City ballet). Others are relative unknowns, such as Suzanne Rochon-Burnett, a Canadian radio broadcaster, and Lorna Williams, an educator who developed a curriculum from a Native American's perspective.
