Elaine Willman
Indian Policy
ABOUT ELAINE:
Elaine Devary Willman, MPA, authored her first book, Going to Pieces in 2005, her second book,
Slumbering Thunder in 2016, and her third, American Tribal Tyranny in 2020.
Following two years attendance at Ventura College of Law, she received a Master’s in Public Administration (MPA) from Cal State University in 1991 and has earned 96 credits towards doctoral work in public policy. Willman’s research is supported by her grounded life experiences living on three separate Indian reservations: Yakama Reservation (WA), former Oneida Reservation (WI) and Flathead Indian Reservation (MT).
She has extensive knowledge of federal and tribal government decisions, land use status within Indian reservations, dual-jurisdictions and Constitutional conflicts that impact the rights and lives of tribal members and American citizens. Her mother and grandmother were enrolled Cherokee members and her former spouse is of Shoshone ancestry, a direct descendant of Sacajawea. Willman is engaged with numerous national and local educational organizations providing sunshine on the little-known subject of federal Indian policy to inform the general public.
American Tribal Tyranny is intended to encourage a needed dialogue to restore the
United States to One Nation Under God, as intended by our Founders and U.S. Constitution.
