Ada Deer, influential Native American leader from Wisconsin, dies at 88

Ada Deer Was a Fierce Warrior for Native Rights and Social Justice

When Ada Deer (Menominee) walked on this past Tuesday, Indian Country lost not only a fierce warrior, but also a pathfinder who moved the country from the Termination Era to new heights of tribal sovereignty. A mutual friend told me that Deer was determined to make her 88th birthday on August 8th. While Deer spent decades being a strong warrior for Native Americans, she should be remembered for paving the way for Native women to serve at high-ranking positions within the federal government.
