Liselotte Wahl

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, retelling US history centered on an Oglala Lakota hero. In 1965, during a visit to the Pine Ridge Reservation, she was given the Oglala name Lakota-Tashina. Oglala Lakota painter Arthur Amiotte referred to her as the “German Ella Deloria: grandmotherly, kind, and very interested in people.”
