Notes
1. As a matrilineal society, the Navajo Nation does not consider one's paternal lineage for questions of traditional membership.[2]
Radmilla A. Cody (born 1975) is a Navajo model, singer, and anti-domestic violence activist who was the 46th Miss Navajo from 1997 to 1998.[3]
She was the first biracial Miss Navajo and thus so far the only Miss Navajo partially of African-American heritage, her nomination sparked considerable debate over Navajo identity.[3] After her tenure, allegations of drug-trafficking and involvement in money-laundering, resulting in her subsequent arrest and imprisonment, led to verbal racial attacks as well as support.
