Recollecting : lives of Aboriginal women of the Canadian northwest and borderlands

Carter, Sarah, 1954- (Added Author). McCormack, Patricia Alice, 1947- (Added Author).

Summary: "Authors look beyond the documentary record and standard representations of women, drawing also on records generated by the women themselves, including their beadwork, other material culture, and oral histories. Exploring the constraints and boundaries these women encountered, the authors engage with difficult and important questions of gender, race, and identity. Collectively these essays demonstrate the complexity of "contact zone" interactions, and they enrich and challenge dominant narratives about histories of the Canadian Northwest" --Book Jacket.
