A Recognition of Being: Reconstructing Native Womanhood

Is there a special role for native women? Author Kim Anderson, herself a Cree-Métis woman, asserts that native womanhood "is not about simply playing certain roles, or adopting a pre-set identity; rather... it is an ongoing exercise" in finding the balance between one's individuality, place in a family, the broader community and nation, and the spiritual world.
Anderson explores how the native female identity has been dismantled over the years through colonization, abuse and disrespect, both within and outside the native community. She shows how native women are reclaiming their cultural traditions and creating positive images of themselves true to their heritage.
