Wilma Pearl Mankiller (November 18, 1945-April 6, 2010) was the first female Chief of the Cherokee Nation. She served as the Principal Chief for ten years from 1985 to 1995. She died of pancreatic cancer on April 6, 2010
The family surname, Mankiller, is a traditional Cherokee military rank and is Asgaya-dihi in Cherokee, which is alternatively spelled Outacity or Outacite.

I’m 1/16 Cherokee as a gggrandmother “passed as white” and married a white. She was from Arkansas, but I don’t know exactly where. My gggrandfather fell overboard on a Mississippi River Boat and was buried near Marianna, Arkansas.
