Indigenous American Women: Decolonization, Empowerment, Activism by Devon Abbott Mihesuah (Professor of Applied Indigenous Studies and History, North Arizona University) studies how Native American women have been perceived by non-Natives, scholars, and themselves. Professor Mihesuah sets forth guidelines as to how Native American women can empower themselves tribally, nationally, and academically, while emphasizing the importance of getting involved in all facets of the Native American community. Indigenous American Women is very highly recommended for Contemporary Native American Studies and Women's Studies collections and reading lists.

The author has put forth a fine compilation of subjects which will challenge both those outside of Native America and within it's ranks to open their eyes to some harsh realities and true strengths of American Indian women. Highly recommend.
