"Women of the Native Struggle",
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Women Of The Native Struggle: Portraits and Testimony of Native American Women (The Library of the American Indian) (Paperback)
I have always loved this book. I read it when it first came out. I bought this copy for my daughter's middle school classroom. She teaches in the Tacoma School District. This book is very special to our family. It features a picture of my niece, Alicia Ormbrek, with the wonderful and wise Lena Dunstan. Lena was a Haida elder from Canada,who lived in Washington for much of her later adult life. She had a grace one rarely sees, and a real pride in her culture. I believe it is important for children to see that stereotypes are just that. People are real. Cultures are important. I take pride in my partial Creek ancestery, and I know my nieces and nephew are fiercely proud of their Haida heritage. Every culture has great people and small heroes. Lena Dunstan was both of these. I encourage everyone to read this book and to gain some understanding of what it is like to maintain your inner self while a power culture rolls over you.
