A proud member of the American Indian Movement.
Peggy became a member of the American Indian Society and held the Executive Director position in addition to Lecturer and Storyteller.
Peggy had a great deal of interest and understanding in the Genealogy area as well.
She later received the approval from the Cherokee Nation to share her Indian heritage knowledge. This gave her the opportunity to travel and educate others, visiting many schools from elementary to college levels, sharing the history of Indian customs and beliefs.

The city of Alton, IL invited her to the dedication of Piasa Park on opening day so she may purify the site location.
