Walters was born on September 9, 1946, in Pawnee, Oklahoma, to parents Juanita and Luther McGlaslin.[3] Her mother is Pawnee and her father is Otoe-Missouria.[4] Walters obtained her BA from Goddard College in Plainfield, VT, where she also obtained her MFA in Creative Writing.[5] Anna is an instructor in the Humanities Division at Diné College in Arizona where she has experience as an administrator and teacher, and as a publisher of educational and trade publications with Navajo Community College Press. She lives in Tsaile, Arizona[6] with her husband Harry Walters.[7] He is the former Director of the Museum at Diné College.[8]
Walters' first novel, Ghost Singer (1988) was published just two years before the passing of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and one year before the National Museum of the American Indian Act. This is important to note because the novel centers around a collection of Native American remains and artifacts housed in the Smithsonian and the subsequent effects the collection has on both native and non-native characters. The novel also explores how American Indians understand their position related to their ancestry and culture, especially in relation to the diaspora created by colonization.[9]
