(88786) Thanadelthur Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 20 September 2001 by LINEAR at Socorro.
As a young Denśoliné woman captured into slavery, Thanadelthur (1697–1717) became a skilled interpreter and negotiator. Known as the Ambassadress of Peace, she enabled a mutually beneficial economy for Denśoliné, Cree, and English fur traders west of Hudson's Bay. A commemorative plaque erected in 2017 in Churchill, Manitoba honors her short life.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 4, #6, 7), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
