During this time Mankiller increased the nation’s membership from 68,000 to 170,000. She also opened three rural health centers and expanded the Head Start program for Cherokee children. Mankiller was born on November 18, 1945 in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. She grew up on a 160-acre tract given to her grandfather as part of a federal government settlement. Mankiller was greatly impacted by a demonstration of Native Americans who took over Alcatraz Island for 19 months to call the government’s attention to the poor treatment of Native Americans.

When the Principal Chief was appointed Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs, Mankiller became Principal Chief. She was then elected to the position in 1987. (Photo Credit: Library of Congress)
