Indigenous American women : decolonization, empowerment, activism / Devon Abbott Mihesuah.
Looks at the evolving identities of American Indigenous women today, their ongoing struggles against a centuries-old legacy of colonial disempowerment, and how they are seen and portrayed by themselves and others. This title examines how American Indigenous women have perceived and depicted by non-Natives, including scholars, and by themselves.
