Robbie Hedges
Robbie Hedges is the former chief of the Peoria tribe of Indians of Oklahoma. In 2000, she was the first woman elected to the position. Hedges, a former office manager, found that no other candidates existed when Chief Joe Goforth resigned. She decided to run in part based on the tradition of tribal service set by her grandmother, who lived to age 108. References
