Identifier	Thesis 1541
Author	Poole, Dana
Title	The Role of women in the native American civil rights movement / Dana Poole
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	1998
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	Beginning in the late 1960's and continuing through the 1970's, the American public saw an increased activism within the Native American community. This activism followed in the path of the civil rights movement and was marked by the creation of the American Indian Movement (or A.I.M.); and by political demonstrations such as the siege at Wounded Knee on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in 1973. The civil rights movement was a period of transition for the entire Native American community. During this period the Native American community would gain a great deal of pride in their heritage, intertwining the slogans of red power and red pride, as other minorities had done before them. At the same time, many Native Americans were yearning to return to the traditions of their grandparents while trying to deal with contemporary Native American problems. One of the greatest changes initiated through the Native American civil rights movement was the role of women. The civil rights movement created a new environment that allowed many Native American women to emerge as prominent leaders. This thesis will examine the lives of Mary Brave Bird and Wilma Mankiller. In the thirty years since then, contemporary Native American women, especially those directly involved in the civil rights protests, have created roles for themselves as leaders of their communities and tribes. The roles of contemporary Native American women demonstrate a delicate balance between preserving the past and ensuring a better present and future.
