Nellie Carlson and Kathleen Steinhauer, who helped to organize the Indian Rights for Indian Women movement in western Canada in the 1960s, fought the Canadian government's interpretation of treaty and Indigenous Rights, the Indian Act, and the male power structure in their own communities in pursuit of equal rights for Indigenous women and children. After decades of activism and court battles, First Nations women succeeded in changing these oppressive regulations, thus benefitting thousands of their descendants. Those interested in human rights, activism, history, and Indigenous Studies will find that these personal stories, enriched by detailed notes and photographs, form a passionate record of an important, continuing struggle.Cree womenCanadaBiographyOral historyCanadaAlbertaEconomic policyCongressesHuman Rights.Indigenous Studies.Oral Histories.Women's Studies.Cree womenOral history323.1197/07100922Carlson Nellie1709759Steinhauer KathleenGoyette Linda1955-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824080503321Disinherited generations4099796UNINA
