Lisa
Tiger is a member of the Muscogee Nation and is of Creek, Seminole, Cherokee and Irish descent. Lisa has been doing
AIDS education since learning she was infected with the virus in 1992. Infected by a boyfriend in 1988, in her hometown
of Muskogee, Oklahoma, she went from HIV to AIDS in 1999. Lisa has won numerous awards for her work as an AIDS
educator. For over a decade Lisa has dedicated her life to raising abandoned and abused children. In 1996 Lisa
was granted custody of four Lakota (Sioux) siblings ages 3,5,6 and 7 and has made a home for them for nearly 10 years.
In 2003 Lisa married acclaimed Pueblo potter Diego Romero. After consulting with her physicians the couple decided to
try for a pregnancy; Lisa inseminated herself with her husband's sperm and succeeded on her first attempt. Altough it
was an extremely difficult pregnancy - Lisa, age 39, nearly lost her life - March 12, 2004 she gave birth to a healthy baby
girl. The baby's name is Cornelia Margaret TaLadu Dana Tiger; family and friends call her Crickett. AIDS education
is, once again, a vital part of Lisa Tiger's life. Crickett however, takes precedents over every facet
of Lisa's life. Crickett, now a toddler, travels with Lisa to all presentations. The family divides their time
between Santa Fe, New Mexico and Muskogee, Oklahoma.
Lisa's Oklahoma address is:
