Page ix Introduction The girl you'll meet in these pages has become, in 1996, a fifty-two-year-old woman named Sharon Skolnick. My Indian name, by which I am perhaps better known, is Okee-Chee. I've lived half my life in Chicago, where I have raised my family of four children and, now, four grandchildren. My family owns and operates the only American Indianowned art gallery in Chicago; I am a painter, doll maker, and craftswoman of some reputation. I've been lucky enough to see some of my dreams come true. Four decades ago this summary of my life seemed unlikely. In 1953 I was a ward of the state of Oklahoma, living with my sister in the Murrow Indian Orphanage. My name then was Linda Lakoe. I was the oldest of five daughters of Richard and Amelia Lakoe; all of us had been removed from the custody of our natural parents. I have met my natural mother briefly and have corresponded with my natural father, but I've never felt comfortable enough with either of them to inquire about the details of the trauma that destroyed our family.
