From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Connie Pinkerman (3 September 1928-8 June 2009) was a Choctaw-Cherokee woman physician, attorney and activist. She is best known for her role in exposing the 1970's Eugenics programs in which an estimated 40% of Native American women were either coerced or misled into being sterilized.[A][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Others interpreted as "more than a quarter" of the Native American women.[11]

On the other hand, there are those who question her figures and conclusion.[12]

Early Life and Education
