Feminist Intersection: Indigenous Feminisms and Resources - Without Apology and More

Social Commentary post by Jessica Yee, Submitted by Jessica Yee on April 13, 2010 - 10:05am; tagged feminisms, Feminist Intersection, indigenous feminism, Native Americans.

I'm proud to be an Indigenous feminist and I'm not apologizing for it. In fact this very statement "Native Feminisms Without Apology" was the title of an incredible conference in 2006 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign I so wish I would have been at.

So why am I not apologizing for being a Native feminist? Because I get serious flack for it - from all sides. On the one hand I'm not Native enough if I call myself a feminist. On the other hand I'm not feminist enough since I'm pointing out there's a mainstream movement I really don't like.

Now I've written about Indigenous feminism here, here, and here, but based on several recent requests I've received about it, I thought I'd also make a mini reference list of some great resources to check out.
