| Additional information |
Wilma Mankiller served as the first female Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation from 1985 to 1995, overseeing a period of significant tribal self-governance expansion and a near-tripling of Cherokee citizenship enrollment. Her inclusion in the American Women Quarters Program — authorized by Congress in 2020 — placed her alongside four other honorees annually through 2025, the successor series to the 56-design America the Beautiful program that ran from 2010.
Mankiller died in 2010 from pancreatic cancer. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Bill Clinton in 1998.
