Book Review of Mankiller: A Chief and Her People

Mankiller: A Chief and Her People
reviewed on + 59 more book reviews


The surname "Mankiller" is an old Cherokee name, but it originated as a title or rank that was earned. This is one of the interesting historical tidbits that you find in this autobiography. Wilma Mankiller tells not only her own story, but the story of her people. I found it to be informative and thought-provoking, as well as easy to read. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Cherokee history and culture.
