Wilma Mankiller Quotes
Western movies always seemed to show Indian women washing clothes at the creek and men with a tomahawk or spear in their hands, adorned with lots of feathers.

We're very rarely depicted as real people who have greater tenacity in terms of trying to hang on to our culture and values system than most people.
