Description
A powerful memoir and political reflection, this book traces the author’s personal struggle with womanhood, culture, and spiritual tradition while confronting the forces that shape Indigenous life under colonial rule. Through a clear-eyed examination of racism and feminism in Canada, it explores how Native women can face oppression from both within their communities and from white society, including the normalization of violence. Blending lived experience with academic rigor, the author illuminates the connections between colonialism, gendered power, and the fight for political sovereignty. Written in a direct, incisive voice, this seminal work challenges readers to rethink what liberation looks like—and who gets to define it.
