LLi if Max Becherer Staff and Ryan Miller hook up a huge Mankiller emerged from humble roots By Carmen Duarte ARIZONA DAILY STAR Wilma Mankiller has a tough name, and that name helped shape her into a strong person in 1985 she became the first woman to lead the Cherokee Nation. "My father was a person who always told us to be proud of our name. It's an unusual name. Growing up we were teased about it," said Mankiller, who will kick off the 20th anniversary celebration of the University of Arizona's American Indian Studies Program this evening. She will open the "Poetics and Politics" speaker series at 7:30 in the Social Sciences Auditorium, Room 100.

The event is free and open to the public. In 1985, Mankiller was appointed chief of the Cherokee Nation and elected to that post two years later, serving until 1995. Under her leadership, education and health care became priorities. Before she was voted the top leader, Mankiller worked as the tribe's community development director in charge of building water systems and renovating houses. She also held the post of deputy principal chief of the Cherokee Nation the second in command.

She sees the protection of treaty rights and sovereignty as key issues facing American Indian tribes. "Equally important is trying in the 21st century to fully understand practical ways to keep traditional life ways and still interact with the world around us," Mankiller' said. "We must preserve our art, language, music and ceremonies. "I see more youth interested in this preservation. I'm pretty optimistic," said Mankiller, who also will discuss tonight the role of women in shaping the family, community and tribe.

In a telephone interview from her Cherokee Nation home in Adair County, the 56-year-old author and consultant talked about the strength she and her 10 siblings received from her parents, Irene Sitton Wilma Mankiller "My parents were both avid readers. We always had books around the house, and politics was always discussed. I realize now that they gave us a real gift," she said.

"My father's teachings had an impact on us to be proud of our rich Cherokee history," said Mankiller, whose name is derived from a military title given to the protector of the village. "My mother gave us unconditional love and always was in our corner, even if we were dead wrong," Mankiller said. "She let us develop in our own way. She let us find our own path." Mankiller returned to her homelands in the mid-1970s a move that made her feel complete. "I grew up in San Francisco after moving there with my family when I was 10 years old," she said.

"We moved under a BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs) relocation program because they wanted us to assimilate. My father thought we'd have a better life.

Bohlke said the city study is also tilted to favor public safety workers and top executives. Pay scales for blue-collar and white-collar workers are based on the rates paid by other gov-" ernments in Pima County, which is known as a low-wage area, she said. But public safety pay scales are indexed to what those jobs pay in Phoenix and other Maricopa County cities, she said, while the rates for upper management are based on the na fore Superior Court Judge Michael Cruikshank.

After that, Moody represented himself, and he was convicted and sentenced to death on March 30, 1996.
