THESIS

"Throughout modern history, the mis- and underrepresentation of Native American women within historical documentation and today’s media has obscured the various movements, achievements, and cultural traditions of these women, and has hugely limited their fight for equality in the feminist movements."

-----

In this website, I'll be investigating the portrayal of Native American women in today's media and in the past.  I'll also include small biographies of several powerful Native American women in history, describe past and present cultural values, and derail some modern stereotypes.
