Wilma brought this passion back to her people where she was re-elected for three terms to serve as the Cherokee’s highest leader laying important foundations for the current Nation’s economic and cultural status as one of the most successful tribes in America. Although she considered herself a liberal democrat\, as Deputy Chief she served under a conservative Republican and was known as a uniter of all people. Wilma launched many cutting-edge initiatives that substantially improved living conditions during her tenure\, and in 1990 she signed an unprecedented Cherokee Nation self-determination agreement with the federal government\, in which the Nation took control of its funding\, programs\, and services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. \nIn 1998\, recognizing her impressive leadership and achievements\, President Bill Clinton awarded her the Medal of Freedom.  A stalwart activist for women’s rights\, Wilma Mankiller was cited by the organizers of the January 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 wake-up call to take action for positive change. \nVALERIE RED-HORSE MOHL\, OF CHEROKEE ANCESTRY\, IS THE CEO/FOUNDER OF RED-HORSE NATIVE PRODUCTIONS\, INC.\, A FILM AND TELEVISION PRODUCTION COMPANY THAT HAS BECOME A PREEMINENT COLLABORATOR WITH AMERICAN INDIAN TRIBAL NATIONS TO BRING IMPORTANT NATIVE STORIES ACCURATELY AND RESPECTFULLY TO THE SCREEN FOR WHICH SHE DIRECTS\, PRODUCES\, AND WRITES. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Join us for a screening of the film SHANK\, written\, produced\, and directed by filmmaker Jim Terry\, with music by Peckinslaw.
