By marrying out of their tribes/bands, these women either lose their Indian status or are unable to pass such status on to their children, and they have few legal tools that encompass their unique identities. The book concludes that the impact of indigenous women's legal mobilization should be assessed in terms of the potential for future democratic participation. Legal mobilization helps tame the effects of intersectional power only if it provides indigenous women new opportunities to redefine rights.Law and society (New York, N.Y.)Indian womenLegal status, laws, etcUnited StatesWomen's rightsUnited StatesIndian womenLegal status, laws, etcCanadaWomen's rightsCanadaIndian womenLegal status, laws, etc.Women's rightsIndian womenLegal status, laws, etc.Women's rights342.708/78/08997Aks Judith H1861113MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910971542803321Women's rights in Native North America4467159UNINA
