Reviews
This autobiography tells the story of Wilma Mankiller's life and also the culture of her Cherokee tribe. I think this book can teach readers about what life is really like in a current day tribe, without the stereotyping of Native Americans. It is a very long novel which would most likely be used in an 8th grade setting when learning about Cherokee culture.
