Requests:  0 Summary:  Despite their important roles in religious, political, and family life, the stories of American Indian women have remained largely untold, or else have been obscured by the glamorizing eye of popular culture. American Indian Women weaves together history, anthropology, folklore, and rich visuals to provide a fascinating introduction to a widely overlooked group. This attractive volume is divided into three parts. The first explores American Indian cultures before the arrival of European colonists, delving into tribal mythologies, the role of the Clan Mother in society and religion, family customs, and the complex and varied artistic endeavors of American Indian women. The second part examines encounters between American Indian peoples and the Spanish, British, and French colonists, discussing intermarriage, acculturation, and the lives of prominent female figures - including Pocahontas and Sacagawea. Attention is also devoted to the later portrayal of American Indian women in Hollywood and the fetishization of their cultures. The final section celebrates the American Indian Renaissance, exemplified by a new generation of female sachems, or chiefs - warriors, negotiators, educators, and advocates for the civil rights of native peoples.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 305.48897 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.48897 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.48897 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.48897 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.48897 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.48897 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.48897 De missing from shelf Add Copy to MyList
