the south of the united states of america oklahoma. this road leads to macalister penitentiary which houses prisoners condemned to death. this is where just twelve years ago i met sean sellers a young man condemned to death his story created a media star all over the world he was my age and i have never forgotten him ever since the night of his execution i have been convinced that the death penalty acts like a poison on all those who participate in it now my aim is to meet the people of born volved in the execution of sean sellers. this is where sean sellers spent the last thirteen years of his life. ever cameras and three. thousand three. hundred or a little we. took a. shine was to. and you nine when this interview took place. most of the people around here you know all this season did you in all the see the chains wars cry. oh. you know if all you can see is this summer's herzog but. someone has killed somebody. that someone is dangerous did you with the person did the person deserves to die. and. i don't blame the. existing one. th

miss oklahoma was indian. i stand up and i said -- charlie asked me to give you a typical indian greeting. i did know if he meant the kind of greeting that the indians gave the pilgrims at plymouth rock or the kind the lakota and shine give custer at little bighorn. [laughter] so i just said hi to you in my native language. and i will stop there because that was my big step on being able to stand in front of a group dripping wet, no makeup and what makeup there was no sliding down my face and support together enough to talk. so having electricity go out this morning at 2:00 was nothing compared to what i've been through in the past. >> as miss oklahoma, suddenly you're thrust into the spotlight on as a representative of the state, but as we all know a lot of times with native people once we put in the spotlight was so is asked to represent all native people, how did you balance that? how did you become an advocate for native people, but without taking on that representative of the whole? >> well, i think mainl

. >> and growing up i started off in a very rule area in oklahoma. we lived there and for the times taking place in the '50s and '60s so there was a different mindset with a lot of racism that had to be dealt with by my parents and especially since my father was indian and my mother was not come even they have a lot of racism aimed at them or being the integrated marriage at the time. but the story is about finding strength of than yourself to be able to push through those hardships and make it through the night and in the morning when the sun comes up to give banks sometimes you have to get help. when times get hard for me, whether when i was seven or eight more had to leave home as a junior, you have to go somewhere to get help. the church offered a place to stay and recover from the domestic violence. but before then, i had my own problems of self-esteem and i was the youngest of four girls feeling that everybody was picking on me and doing those main things that the brothers and sisters do to you. but it is about getting in touch with your inner

susanne who's with me -- you'll meet her later -- we live and have lived for some years in tulsa, oklahoma, where there's plenty of water and wood, it's a very green place, but like the rest of this nation it's been stricken, and temperatures in triple digits for many, many days. and that's the way it's been for us most of the summer because we're now in the last leg of this national book tour, and we've been all over the country, deep into the eastern united states on the other side of the mississippi where i sometimes go and all over the southwest and the west where i prefer to be. being a native of missouri, i've always looked west down the santa fe trail, down the immigrant trails, down my beloved route 66. sos this is the part of the country -- so this is the part of the country i do like best, and when i declared my major, if you will, as a writer, it was about the american west. not just cowboys and indians, not just the west that many people think about or conjure up when they hear that word, but the contemporary west as well. the pop culture west, the contemporary west. so tonight
