This is a groundbreaking contribution to Indigenous studies at the
crossroads of interdisciplinary feminist theory and methods built
on community-based voice, experience, and power. Foregrounding
conceptual frameworks of Indigenous feminist consciousness founded
in acts of resistance, reclaiming, constructing, acting, and
reflecting, Kim Anderson’s book opens up paths of healing and
resurgence against threats to Indigenous ways of being. - Margo
Tamez, MFA, PhD, Indigenous Studies / Community, Culture and Global
Studies, University of British Columbia
""In this second edition, Kim Anderson beautifully weaves the
stories of Indigenous women from the traditional teachings of our
ancestors to the brutality of colonial ideologies designed to shame
and disempower Indigenous women and their family units. A skilled
storyteller herself, Kim Anderson’s narrative reveals how the
teachings of our ancestors can help this generation emerge from the
genocidal acts of the colonizers, with hope for the future. Told
with truth, love, and respect, Kim’s work is a form of knowledge
transmission and establishes for us the foundations of
reconciliation: education, our history, and our strengths as
Indigenous peoples."" - Katsi'tsakwas Ellen Gabriel, Indigenous
Human Rights and Environmental Activist, Kanien'kehá:ka Nation,
