This book is the unforgettable story of a Comanche woman who has
become one of the most influential, inspired, and determined Native
Americans in politics. LaDonna Harris was born on a Comanche
allotment in southern Oklahoma in the 1930s. From her earliest
years, she was immersed in a world of resistance, reform, and
political action. As the wife of Senator Fred R. Harris, LaDonna
was actively involved in political advising, campaigning, and
networking.
Not content to remain in the background, LaDonna became a
well-known political figure in her own right, serving on the
National Indian Opportunities Council as President Lyndon B.
Johnson's appointee and working beside such notable political
figures as Hubert Humphrey, Robert Kennedy, and Sargent Shriver. In
1980 she became the vice-presidential nominee for the
environmentalist Citizen's Party. Her story provides a witty and
valuable American Indian insider's view of modern national
political scenes.
