I really enjoyed this post. I learned a lot about the inspiring Wilma Mankiller, and I intend to watch the movies that you mentioned. This was like "found art"--inspired by a coin you found! Great work. Thanks for writing.

I never thought of it in this way- a piece of writing as found art. So cool! Thanks Janisse 😊

Wonderful post, Katie! I'd heard of Wilma Mankiller (who can forget that name?) but was unfamiliar with the specifics of her work. So inspiring. I'm going to check out her poetry and also the movies you mentioned. Thanks so much for educating us .... and all from a quarter you picked up off the ground. Serendipity!

Thank you Jeanne ! She wrote an autobiography too that I’m going to read next.
