What is Holding Our World Together: Ojibwe Women and the Survival of Community (Penguin Library of American Indian History) about?

Women of the Great Lakes and Mississippi : everything was very systematic -- Madeline Island : Ojibwe women in fur trade society -- Reservations : holding our world together -- Nett Lake : wild rice and the Great Depression -- Mount Pleasant : metaphor of the muskrat -- Minneapolis : a renaissance of spirit;A groundbreaking exploration of the remarkable women in Native American communities. Too often ignored or underemphasized in favor of their male warrior counterparts, Native American women have played a more central role in guiding their nations than has ever been understood. Many Native communities were, in fact, organized around women's labor, the sanctity of mothers, and the wisdom of female elders. In this well-researched and deeply felt account of the Ojibwe of Lake Superior and the Mississippi River, Brenda J. Child details the ways in which women have shaped Native American life from the days of early trade with Europeans through the reservation era and beyond. The latest volume in the Penguin Library of American Indian History, Holding Our World Together illuminates the lives of women such as Madeleine Cadotte, who became a powerful mediator between her people and Europe
