Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Ramona Bennett (Puyallup) established a clinic that serves 9000 Native Americans. Faith Smith (Chippewa) is cofounder of Native American Education Services, a national network that operates colleges in four states. These women, among the 25 Katz (I Am the Fire of Time: The Voices of Native American Women) introduces, are artists, craftswomen, teachers, healers and leaders who have made significant contributions to their tribes and to humanity. Most grew up in poverty and many were abused as children; all have shown a remarkable resiliency and commitment to native culture. These stories are an inspiration to their sisters everywhere and a welcome addition to the literature of women's studies. Photos. Author tour.

From Library Journal
In this new collection, editor Katz (I Am the Fire of Time: The Voices of Native American Women, 1977) taps into the very heart of contemporary Native American women's lives. Katz has done an impressively restrained job of interviewing a wide variety of Native women and allowing them to speak for themselves, rather than filtering their voices through non-Native interpreters, as is often the case. Each woman talks about what is important to her, and the topics are wide-ranging, covering everything from political activism and childhood memories to feelings about the environment and religion. The 25 women run the gamut from full-blood to mixed-blood, from famous author to high school girl, from Tulalip to Miccosukee. Most interviews are illustrated with a photograph of the woman speaking. For public libraries. (Index not seen.)-Lisa A. Mitten, Univ. of Pittsburgh Lib.
