“The critical writings by scholars expertly connect historical injustices to today’s injustices against Indigenous women and LGBTQ communities and [reveal] how Indigenous critical resiliency of culture and tradition is the strength of community."—Aresta Tsosie-Paddock, University of Arizona“This book centers the resilience and power of Indigenous women and two-spirit people. From various perspectives rooted in the sacredness of female empowerment, the authors highlight the connection between rematriation and Indigenous well-being. This collection of work honors and privileges the vitality of Indigenous women and two-spirit people while critiquing the brutal impact of settler colonialism. This book will be valuable across disciplines/spaces that engage in social justice work, especially as it pertains to BIPOC, health, policy, gender studies, and restitution."—Leola Tsinnajinnie Paquin, University of New Mexico
