Just A Little Girl From Tahlequah - Paperback

by Lisa Christine Christiansen (Author), Phil Kapelyus (Author)

This book is a gripping auto-biography of the arduous journey Dr. Lisa Christine Christiansen took to make her way from almost having been aborted three times to becoming one of the most influential and controversial Native American Cherokee women from the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma. Christiansen is born from the Keetoowah Nighthawk Society, blue people clan to a long lineage of historically significant women and men. Most notably, her 5th generation great-grandfather Sequoyah "George 'Gist' Guess" and NASA'S Mary Golda Ross - the first known Native American female engineer and the first female engineer in the history of Lockheed. She was one of the 40 founding engineers of Lockheed's renowned and highly secretive Skunk Works project. Both are direct descendants of Christiansen's mother, Mary Ann Groundhog. This book brings us through her arrival as one of few Executive Advisors to President Donald J. Trump and her continued support in the Trump Administration.
