| Summary |
From a variety of methodological perspectives, contributors to Living on the Land explore the nature and scope of Indigenous women's knowledge, its rootedness in relationships, both human and spiritual, and its inseparability from land and landscape. The authors discuss the integral role of women as stewards of the land and governors of the community and points to a distinctive set of challenges and possibilities for Indigenous women and their communities |
