Notes

This anthology of contemporary Native American women's writing includes short stories, poems, essays, and memoirs by writers in Canada's prairie provinces and western Northwest Territories. These voices, not widely heard until now, demonstrate a range of values, attitudes, experiences, and political perspectives, but share a deep commitment to aboriginal heritage. --Back cover
