Prompt: You know that women are always looked upon as nothing; but we are your mothers; you are our sons. Our cry is all for peace; let it continue. This peace must last forever. Let your women's sons be ours; our sons be yours. Let your women hear our words. -- Nan'yehi, also known as Nancy Ward (c.1738-1824), Cherokee warrior, Ghighua (literally, "Beloved Woman" or "War Woman," the highest title given to women counselors and judges), and spokesperson for her people when dealing with representatives of the U.S. Government. Nan'yehi was the last of the Ghighua.
