She honored her 7th Great Grandmother, Nancy Ward—also known as Nanyehi, a Cherokee war woman turned peace advocate—by performing in the Tulsa Theater’s production of Nanyehi. Playing the role of Betsey Ward alongside Academy Award-winning actor Wes Studi, Leilani helped bring this powerful ancestral story to life on stage.
