About this person

Liselotte Welskopf-Henrich 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, retelling US history centered on an Oglala Lakota hero. For her humanistic portrayal of the Lakota, Welskopf-Henrich was bestowed by the Lakota the name Lakota-Tashina. Oglala Lakota painter Arthur Amiotte referred to her as the “German Ella Deloria: grandmotherly, kind, and very interested in people.”
