The process of “digging up medicines” - of rediscovering the stories of the past - serves as a powerful healing force in the decolonization and recovery of Aboriginal communities. In Life Stages and Native Women, Kim Anderson shares the teachings of fourteen elders from the Canadian prairies and Ontario to illustrate how different life stages were experienced by Metis, Cree, and Anishinaabe girls and women during the mid-twentieth century.These elders relate stories about their own lives, the experiences of girls and women of their childhood communities, and customs related to pregnancy, birth, post-natal care, infant and child care, puberty rites, gender and age-specific work roles, the distinct roles of post-menopausal women, and women's roles in managing death. Through these teachings, we learn how evolving responsibilities from infancy to adulthood shaped women's identities and place within Indigenous society, and were integral to the health and well-being of their communities.By understanding how healthy communities were created in the past, Anderson explains how this traditional knowledge can be applied toward rebuilding healthy Indigenous communities today.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CAItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 355gAuthor: Kim AndersonContributor: Maria Campbell (Foreword by)Genre: Society & CultureBook Series: Critical Studies in Native HistoryTopic: Gender Sex & RelationshipsRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
