Peggy is working hard to change how Native peoples' stories are told and to make life better for all Minnesotans.
Her story is a Minnesota Native American life. The Minnesota Native American Lives Series includes biographies of Charles Albert Bender, Ella Cara Deloria, and Peggy Flanagan. Read all three!
