Civil War nurse? Liason between the white man and the Cherokee? Bluegrass music pioneeress? Tennessee's first female governor passing legislation offering dental care to hillbillies and hiawathas? Inventor of the Rubik's cube? (woops, that's a Hungarian, never mind), Corn-husking craftswoman? The Eudora Welty of Cherokee literature? The MLK of the Cherokee nation? Why yes, Niki, she was a Cherokee, and a peace-loving one. Don't let Five-Killer throw you off.

Her Cherokee name was Nanye-hi, "one who goes about". What a perfect name to inspire we women who "go about" seeking adventure, friendship, and finding God in both. You are "ghighua" to me!
