The Incarceration of Native American Women

"I recommend this book as a tool to understand the historical and contemporary issues that impact and lead to the incarceration of Native women as well as the lasting impacts on our relatives and tribal nations."-Emily R. White Hat, Tribal College Journal "The strength of this work is the author's incorporation of a respected theoretical position, arising from the dominant society, in the successful treatment of Indigenous prisoners."-F. E. Knowles, Choice "This notion of respectful integration of a 'mainstream' approach and an Indigenous approach is cutting edge in its possibilities. This book is exceptionally strong and innovative."-Frank Pommersheim, author of Tribal Justice: Twenty-Five Years as a Tribal Appellate Justice "This first book about incarcerated Indigenous women in more than two decades insists on the importance of tribal knowledge and practices-and illuminates their importance in the areas of justice and healing. It also brings gentle action theory into dialogue with these issues in a manner that is instructive."-C. Richard King, author of Redskins: Insult and Brand
