Book Description

ISBN-10: 0208022198 | ISBN-13: 978-0208022196 | Publication Date: February 1997

In Women of the Earth Lodges, Virginia Peters uses women’s accounts, myths and creation stories, and anthropological and archaeological data to examine the influence and vitality of Plains Indian women. She demonstrates that village life was organized around women’s labor and the women acted as partners with men in economic, social, and religious affairs-functions overlooked by contemporary observers.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The nomads of the Great Plains were sustained by agriculture, largely produced by the women of the tribes. In this study of the Hidatsa, Arikara, and Mandan peoples, Peters reveals the integral role of tribal women in farming and trading.
