«In Keetsahnak / Our Murdered and Missing Indigenous Sisters, the tension between personal, political, and public action is brought home starkly. This important collective volume both witnesses the significance of the travelling exhibition Walking With Our Sisters and creates a model for antiviolence work from an Indigenous perspective. The contributors look at the roots of violence and how it diminishes life for all. They acknowledge the destruction wrought by colonial violence, and also look at controversial topics such as lateral violence, challenges in working with "tradition," and problematic notions involved in "helping." Through stories of resilience, resistance, and activism, the editors give voice to powerful personal testimony and allow for the creation of knowledge.»-- Provided by publisher.

In reaction to the indigenous femicide in Canada, and to the inaction of the canadian government, the victim's relatives and grassroots indigenous women groups created various memorials. The author focuses on the commemorative art installation Walking With Our Sisters, project of the Métis artist Christi Belcourt. Thus, the author led a field survey, to better understand if it was an empowering experience for the women participants. She will also question the definition of western feminism, in contrast with indigenous feminism.

The 2007 first edition of this book proposed that Indigenous feminism was a valid and indeed essential theoretical and activist position, and introduced a roster of important Indigenous feminist contributors. The book has been well received nationally and internationally. It has been deployed in Indigenous Studies, Law, Political Science, and Women and Gender Studies in universities and appears on a number of doctoral comprehensive exam reading lists. The second edition, Making More Space, builds on the success of its predecessor, but is not merely a reiteration of it. Some chapters from the first edition are largely revised. A majority of the chapters are new, written for the second edition by important new scholars and activists. The second edition is more confident and less diffident about making the case for Indigenous feminism and in deploying a feminist analysis. The chapters cover issues that are relevant to some of the most important issues facing Indigenous people--violence against women, recovery of Indigenous self-determination, racism, misogyny, and decolonisation. Specifically, new chapters deal with Indigenous resurgence, feminism amongst the Sami and in Aboriginal Australia, neoliberal restructuring in Oaxaca, Canada's settler racism and sexism, and missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada."-- Résumé de l'éditeur.

L’organisme Femmes Autochtones du Québec et le Conseil du statut de la femme ont uni leur expertise pour mettre en lumière la réalité des femmes autochtones du Québec. Les femmes autochtones et les femmes non autochtones ont une histoire qui leur est propre, des origines différentes et une identité distincte, ce qui ne les empêche pas de nouer des partenariats1 et de nourrir des aspirations communes. Comme par exemple valoriser la parole et l’action des femmes, souhaiter l’autodétermination et la nondiscrimination pour toutes.

In this article I outline an Australian Indigenous women's standpoint theory. I argue that an Indigenous women's standpoint generates problematics informed by our knowledges and experiences. Acknowledging that Indigenous women's individual experiences will differ due to intersecting oppressions produced under social, political, historical and material conditions that we share consciously or unconsciously. These conditions and the sets of complex relations that discursively constitute us in the everyday are also complicated by our respective cultural differences and the simultaneity of our compliance and resistance as Indigenous sovereign female subjects.

La gravité des violences qui s’exercent contre les femmes autochtones du Canada est très élevée. Le présent rapport montre que la réaction des différents niveaux de gouvernement aux menaces qui pèsent sur les femmes des communautés autochtones est inadaptée et parcellaire. Le gouvernement canadien a le devoir indiscutable et impératif de garantir la sécurité des femmes autochtones, de en justice les auteurs de violences à leur encontre et de s’attaquer aux problèmes de fond que sont la marginalisation et la pauvreté.

From Ellen Gabriel to Tantoo Cardinal, many of the faces of Aboriginal people in the media today are women. In the Days of Our Grandmothers is a collection of essays detailing how Aboriginal women have found their voice in Canadian society over the past three centuries. Collected in one volume for the first time, these essays critically situate Aboriginal women in the fur trade, missions, labour and the economy, the law, sexuality, and the politics of representation.
