Read the excerpt from "Rebuilding the Cherokee Nation.”
I think first it’s important, before I start talking about what we’re doing today in the 1990s and what we did throughout the eighties or even the seventies in rebuilding our tribe; I think it’s really, really important to put our current work and our current issues in a historical context.
Read Sahil’s paraphrase of the excerpt.
Wilma Mankiller says that it is important to understand the historical reasons for needing to rebuild the Cherokee tribe, and then she will start talking about what they’re doing today (in the 1990s), and what they did throughout the eighties or even the seventies.
