Oh that is too bad. She was such a nice lady and a good Chief.
A true visionary for the Cherokee.
Rest in Peace.

The family surname, Mankiller, is a traditional Cherokee military rank and is Asgaya-dihi in Cherokee, which is alternatively spelled Outacity or Outacite.
Fascinating. RIP.

...Federal Governments Self-Determination monies...From the Wikipedia page. Seems to me that most of the Tribes have been reduced to poor white trash with 128/th Indian blood holding out their hands for a freebie.

...She told audiences that when asked how she got her surname, she would always reply: “I earned it.” ...Love it. RIP.
