LaDonna Harris, Comanche, Oklahoma. Has worked for decades on behalf of Indian tribes, civil rights, and world peace. Her public service career began as the wife of Senator Fred Harris; the Harrises were complementary partners in many initiatives. Developing her own political momentum, she founded Oklahomans for Indian Opportunity. In 1970 she founded Americans for Indian Opportunity (AIO),a multi-tribal organization that is a catalyst for new opportunities for Indian people. Today her passion is the Ambassadors program of AIO, which trains and sends young people to observe indigenous governments first hand.
