boogieshoesgot this from polly_b's lj:
'The last great Chief of the Cherokee Nation, Chief Wilma Mankiller, has walked West into the Great Mystery. She was only 64, but she'd suffered a lot of health problems including chronic kidney disease and a fairly recent diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.'
i can't say i admire her, because i don't know her or her life well enough *to* admire her - or despise her, or anything else of the sort. what i feel is sad that we have lost another great leader in a time when we need great leaders, where-ever they come from.
*salutes Ms. Mankiller*
there are more details of Chief Mankiller's life here in the Tulsa World.
