Question

Who instituted health and education reforms and other positive revitalization projects for the Cherokee nation in the 1980s?

Answer 1

The correct answer is; Wilma Mankiller.

Further Explanation:

The Cherokee nation elected Wilma Mankiller as their first and primary Chief in 1985. She had been an activist for Cherokee issues for several decades before becoming Chief. She started out as a social worker who only worked with children and fought for all issues involving children.

When she returned to her home state of Oklahoma she began her fight for health reform, better education, and a better government for the Cherokee nation. She helped bills pass to build new health clinics on the reservations, she also created programs for adults to receive their GED and then created early education for the children.

Wilma would stay the primary chief until 1995. The only reason she did not seek re-election was because of the health issues she was battling. She passed away in 2010, but was an avid supporter of the Cherokee nation until then.
