Liselotte Welskopf-Henrich

Liselotte Welskopf-Henrich (15 September 1901 – 16 June 1979) was a German novelist, activist, professor of ancient history, and the first woman to be elected full member of the German Academy of Sciences. She was a life-long supporter of Native American causes and the author of two series of revisionist Western novels, which retell US history from a Lakota perspective. For her humanistic portrayal of the Lakota, Welskopf-Henrich was bestowed by the Lakota the name ''Lakota-Tashina'' (literally: ''protective cover of the Lakota''). Oscar Howe referred to her as the “German Ella Deloria”. Provided by Wikipedia
