Anna Lee Walters (born 1946) is a Pawnee/Otoe-Missouria author from Oklahoma.

[ [http://www.nativewiki.org/Anna_Lee_Walters Anna Lee Walters - NativeWiki ] ] Her first novel, "Ghost Singer" (1994) is a dual mystery, one mystery being the suicide of researchers at the Smithsonian attributed to ghosts related to Indian artifacts there, the other mystery revolving around the way Indians understand there position in their ancestry and culture. Turning the genre on its head, only the latter mystery is resolved. Her short story collection, "The Sun Is Not Merciful," won the Before Columbus Foundation 1985 American Book Award.
