#NotYourPrincess: Voices of Native American Women
CCBC Review:
This diverse collection of art, essays, poems, quotations, and interviews amplifies the voices of Native American women as they affirm themselves and their sisters and acknowledge the impact of painful personal and cultural histories. Many of the women acknowledge physical and sexual violence; because they are Native and because they are women, they know racism and sexism as relentless. Through their art and writing, they defy and challenge stereotypes that label Native American women “princesses” or “costumes.” Their pieces are also bursting with positive truths, cultural pride, and courage. These women are artists, writers, physicians, athletes, scholars, and more who address the lasting harm caused by colonialism and other crimes against Indigenous peoples, and who continue to support one another and thrive today. ©2017 Cooperative Children's Book Center
