Session Description:
We consider the ways Indigenous women writers articulate the epidemic of patriarchal colonial violence and femicide Native women experience. How do these writers imagine decolonization and healing? These literatures have a direct correlation to Native communities and to readers who may not appreciate the complexities of Native life and struggles for survival.
