"Mankiller" follows the life of Wilma Mankiller, the first woman to be elected Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, from her childhood in Oklahoma, through her family’s relocation to San Francisco, as well as her return to Oklahoma and her rise to power within the Cherokee Nation.
"Mankiller" utilizes original interviews with friends, family, and activists including Gloria Steinem as well as archival footage of Wilma Mankiller to depict a transcendent leader that overcame rampant sexism to usher in an era of improved stability and prosperity for the Cherokee Nation.
This event is open to all MSU students, faculty, and staff. Refreshments will be provided.
