Ingrid Washinawatok El-Issa (1957-1999) was a beloved peace warrior from
the indigenous Menominee Nation in Wisconsin. As a teen she fought for
restoration of tribal recognition for her nation and would bring the
struggle for sovereignty and environmental justice to the UN and other
fronts. She was killed with two fellow activists by supposedly
revolutionary Colombian guerrillas while helping the U'wa tribe
establish a school system.
