She did an incredible job. Tribal enrollment, employment and revenue more than doubled over her 10 years in office.

Weird last name.

Brave of you to say that in Mankilling range.

Did you just assume their identity?
Lol. Just kidding. I don’t give a fuck. Carry on

So here's a question, guys.
Would you date somebody whose last name was 'Mankiller'? :)

My mother worked with her.

She's on a US Quarter coin too!

>The surname "Mankiller," Asgaya-dihi (Cherokee syllabary: ᎠᏍᎦᏯᏗᎯ) in the Cherokee language, refers to a traditional Cherokee military rank, like a captain or major.

AWESOME last name, you mean.
JustPlainRick t1_j2266zy wrote
Not really, too hostile in my opinion.
JustPlainRick t1_j226i1g wrote
Thanks! , would be interesting to know the etymological source of the word. Seems like something that could originate from the colonization of the west.

That’s how I learned who she was. I found a quarter with her name on it.

Thank you for the post.
On a similar note the Haudenosaunee are a matriarchal government. Where chiefs are elected by their clan mothers.

That’s a helluva last name

Not in that area - my first Girlfriend was “Knifechief” and my best friends were the “Whitekillers” - that part of Oklahoma has a lot of those kind of names

Cherokee alphabet is really interesting. I don’t know if they still print books and newspapers using it but I know they did for a while. They taught school with it to.

Don’t worry: I’m fairly certain the Cherokee don’t give a flying fuck what you think of their surnames.

Native Americans should run their traditions and practices by you, from now on.
JustPlainRick t1_j22x32h wrote
That was not what I was saying and you know it. Strangely enough when searching for the ancestry of the surname, it came up with a Welsh origin!?
But my point is i don't like violence and it's a violent surname, that's all I meant.
JustPlainRick t1_j22x6rc wrote
As it should be.

I still can't believe people decided to go with "them" etc.

It boggles my mind that people indulge it too

> i don't like violence
An insanely reductive viewpoint given the circumstances
JustPlainRick t1_j23dssx wrote
What does that mean?
Granite-moose t1_j23j9nv wrote
"I don't like violence" is wildly simplistic, violence isn't inherently bad or good. For example domestic violence is bad, but defending your homeland is good. Punching a stranger is bad, punching a stranger who tries to assault your wife is good.
JustPlainRick t1_j23jub2 wrote
Alright then i understand, thank you for the explanation. English is not my native language and sometimes the sentiment of the sentence gets lost with me. I agree with what you're saying.

Would love to see Harriet Tubman on currency. A slave, Union spy, the only woman to lead daring raids that set fires to plantations and free approximately 750 slaves. All while navigating a river mined by the Confederacy and mapped by Ms. Tubman. She couldn't read nor write and yet outperform every general north or south.

Keep your cowardice. More for me.

She was an incredible person. She did receive some recognition during her life, and now more after her death.

"first known"
Edit: never mind, Chief Daywalker was elected later but served longer, 40+ years. Also she wasn't native American but Cree.

If someone asked how she got it, she would say "I earned it" She was fierce

It seems so yeah

No worries English is largely a bullshit language that we're all trying to figure out
