Synopsis

Worlds within Us: Wisdom and Resilience of Indigenous Women Elders presents the voices of eight Native women elders. Recognized by their own peoples and communities as elder leaders, they share their eight personal narratives of amazing lives and the worlds they encompass. The book is heartbreakingly honest and uplifting, with narratives tied together by the resilience and personal courage of these elders and their families, their many personal and professional triumphs. Above all, their desire for reconciliation through active involvement reveals the importance of Indigenous ancestral knowledge, where they see doors to a better future, where humanity can avoid the mistakes of the past. Whether from present-day Alaska, the American Southwest, the Great Plains, or upstate New York, what each elder brings to readers is unflinching honesty, but also common values, common problems, and above all the common desire to assist in the transformation of others through the example of their own extraordinary lives.
