The award recognizes Indigenous leadership for her work spanning 16 years in educating the public about tribal treaty rights. She was honored in 2002 as a finalist as well. But the top 2007 Buffett Award for Indigenous Leadership went to Roberta Conner, curator of the Tamastslikt Cultural Institute on the Umatilla Reservation in eastern Oregon.
