Mankiller examines the legacy of the formidable Wilma Mankiller, who overcame rampant sexism and personal challenges to emerge as the Cherokee Nation’s first female Principal Chief and a champion of social justice and equality. A stalwart activist for women's rights, Mankiller was cited by the organizers of the 2017 Women's March on Washington as one of the most important leaders in America's movement for equality. And yet, most people still don’t know her name. Mankiller reminds audiences of the true meaning of servant leadership and serves as a wakeup call to take action for positive change.
