Summary:
"This oral autobiography of two remarkable Cree
women
tells
their
life stories against a backdrop of government discrimination,
First
Nations
activism, and the resurgence of
First
Nations
communities. Nellie Carlson and Kathleen Steinhauer, who helped to organize the Indian
Rights
for Indian
Women
movement in western Canada in the 1960s, fought the Canadian government's interpretation of
treaty
and Aboriginal
rights
, the Indian Act, and the male power structure in
their
own communities in pursuit of equal
rights
for Aboriginal
women
and children. After decades of activism and court battles,
First
Nations
women
succeeded in changing these oppressive regulations, thus benefitting thousands of
their
descendants
. Those interested in human
rights
, activism, history, and Native Studies will find that these personal stories, enriched by detailed notes and photographs, form a passionate record of an important, continuing
struggle
."--From publisher.
