From Pocahontas, a Powhatan woman of the seventeenth century, to Ada Deer, the Menominee woman who headed the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the 1990s, the essays span four centuries. Each one recounts the experiences of women from vastly different cultural traditions--the hunting and gathering of Kumeyaay culture of Delfina Cuero, the pueblo society of San Ildefonso potter Maria Martinez, and the powerful matrilineal kinship system of Molly Brant's Mohawks. Contributors focus on the ways in which different women have fashioned lives that remain firmly rooted in their identity as Native women. Perdue's introductory essay ties together the themes running through the biographical sketches, including the cultural factors that have shaped the lives of Native women, particularly economic contributions, kinship, and belief, and the ways in which historical events, especially in United States Indian policy, have engendered change.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 236mmItem Length: 154mmItem Width: 19mmItem Weight: 398gContributor: Theda Perdue (Edited by)Genre: HistoryTopic: Gender Sex & Relationships, Social Sciences, Society & CultureBook Series: Viewpoints on American CultureRelease Year: 2001 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
