In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
Wilma Mankiller, the first woman to be elected as Principal Chief
of the Cherokee Nation. Growing up, little Wilma was surrounded by
her Cherokee heritage. Her parents taught her to be proud of who
she was, and all that had come before her. But when the family
moved from Oklahoma's Rocky Mountains to the city of San Francisco,
it was a big change, and Wilma fully realised how unfairly the
world treated Native Americans. As an adult, she became a leader in
the fight for Native American rights, and rose to become the first
woman to ever be elected as a Chief of a Cherokee Nation. This
inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra
facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with
historical photos and a detailed profile of the pioneering Native
American leader and activist. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a
