SUMMARY:Young Learners' Series -- Nanyehi (Nancy Ward)

Because of her actions\, the Cherokee clans named her “Beloved Woman\,” and her opinion carried great significance. She married a British trader named Bryant Ward and advocated for peace between the Cherokee and Americans. She lived to be 79 years old and died before the Cherokee were removed from their land.
