This long-awaited anthology celebrates the experience of Native American womenan important contribution to our literature. From people who value stories and songs from literary traditions as encompassing and intricate as the written literary traditions of Europe, this is the most comprehensive anthology of its kind to collect the poetry, fiction, prayer, and memoir from Native American women. It is about the process of writing and speaking that sheds light on what it means to be an Indian woman at the end of the century, as many nationsincluding the United States and Canadaare involved in the emotionally charged question of identity and place. Over eighty writers are represented from nearly fifty nations, including such nationally known writers as Louise Erdrich, Linda Hogan, Leslie Silko, Lee Maracle, Janet Campbell Hale, and Luci Tapahonso; othersWilma Mankiller, Winona LaDuke, and Bea Medicinewho are known primarily for their contributions to tribal communities; and some who are published for the first time in this volume.
