Cherokee women wielded significant power, and history demonstrates that in what is now America, indigenous women often bore the greater workload, both inside and outside the home. During the French and Indian War, Cherokee women resisted a chiefs authority, owned family households, were skilled artisans, produced plentiful crops, mastered trade negotiations, and prepared chiefs feasts. Cherokee culture was lost when the Cherokee Nation began imitating the American form of governance to gain political favor, and white colonists reduced indigenous womens power. This book recounts long-standing Cherokee traditions and their rich histories. It demonstrates Cherokee and indigenous women as independent and strong individuals through feminist and historical perspectives. Readers will find that these women were far ahead of their time and held their own in many remarkable ways.Karen Coody Cooper was born in 1946 in Oklahoma where her grandmother grew melons on a Cherokee allotment.
