== Request to Add Mary Ladd to the We Wai Kai Nation Entry ==

Hello Mindmatrix,

I would like to request an edit to the **Notable We Wai Kai Nation people** section of the We Wai Kai Nation Wikipedia page.

• Please add the following text:**

• Mary Ladd – Writer and editor known for her contributions to Indigenous heritage, cancer narratives, and culinary writing. She authored *The Wig Diaries*, illustrated by Don Asmussen, and has written extensively on Indigenous topics in cultural and culinary contexts.*

• This text should be inserted under the existing notable people list, after Chief Billy Assu.**

Here are sources to verify her background:

- Jones, Kevin L. (2019). "[SF writer laughs at cancer with 'Wig Diaries,' a guide for grown-ups](https://datebook.sfchronicle.com/books/sf-writer-laughs-at-cancer-with-wig-diaries-a-guide-for-grown-ups)". *The San Francisco Chronicle.*

- KQED. "[New book chronicles life of those living with long COVID](https://www.kqed.org/news/11968196/new-book-chronicles-life-of-those-living-with-long-covid)".

- Alta Journal. "[Author profile: Mary Ladd](https://www.altaonline.com/author/960155/maryladd/)".

- The Writers Grotto. "[Profile: Mary Ladd](https://www.writersgrotto.org/people/mary-ladd)".

- Local News Matters. "[Tribute to Don Asmussen](https://localnewsmatters.org/2021/12/21/local-writers-honor-the-life-of-san-francisco-chronicle-cartoonist-don-asmussen/)".

This addition will help recognize notable We Wai Kai Nation members in cultural and literary fields.

Please let me know if any revisions are needed. Thank you for your time and assistance!

Best,
