Flying with Wilma Mankiller

Wilma Mankiller was the 1st female in modern history to lead a major Native American tribe. She was the Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. She lead a population of over 140,000 and had an annual budget of more than $75 million!

Becoming Chief was no easy task. Many did not want to be led by a woman. She received death threats and had her tires slashed.

Just because things get tough, it doesn't mean that it's time to quit.
