Incarceration of Native American Women

"I recommend this book as a tool to understand the historical and contemporary issues that impact and lead to the incarceration of Native women as well as the lasting impacts on our relatives and tribal nations."—Emily R. White Hat, Tribal College Journal "The strength of this work is the author's incorporation of a respected theoretical position, arising from the dominant society, in the successful treatment of Indigenous prisoners."—F. E. Knowles, Choice “This notion of respectful integration of a ‘mainstream’ approach and an Indigenous approach is cutting edge in its possibilities. This book is exceptionally strong and innovative.”—Frank Pommersheim, author of Tribal Justice: Twenty-Five Years as a Tribal Appellate Justice “This first book about incarcerated Indigenous women in more than two decades insists on the importance of tribal knowledge and practices—and illuminates their importance in the areas of justice and healing. It also brings gentle action theory into dialogue with these issues in a manner that is instructive.”—C. Richard King, author of Redskins: Insult and Brand
