Rebel Shamans: Indigenous Women Confront Empire

A Presentation for Women

Priestesses, diviners and medicine women stand out as leaders of aboriginal liberation movements against empire. And spiritual spheres of power are a crucial arena for women’s political leadership, challenging systems of domination on many levels.

This visual presentation looks at how indigenous women draw on their cultural traditions to resist colonization and how, by virtue of who they are and where they stand in the social order, their personal access to direct, transformative power makes the spiritual political.
