This collection complements existing conceptual frameworks and develops new methodological and theoretical approaches that more fully articulate the complex nature of social, economic, political, and material relationships between indigenous men and women in this region. The contributors challenge the widespread notion that Native women's and men's roles are frozen in time, a concept precluding the possibility of differently constructed gender categories and changing power relations and roles through time. By examining the pre-historical, historical, and modern records, they demonstrate that these roles are not fixed and have indeed gradually transformed. Many Faces of Gender is ideal for anthropologists and archaeologists interested in cross-disciplinary studies of gender, households, women, and lithics Notes Papers from participants in the "Approaches to Gender in the North" symposium at the 25th annual meeting of the Alaska Anthropological Association held in Anchorage, Alaska, March 1998, and from other contributors Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 217-246) and index Notes Master and use copy.
