Native Feminisms in Motion
Leilani Sabzalian
English Journal, v106 n1 p23-30 2016
Presented are three short stories describing the ways a community of Native youth, families, and educators in an urban Indigenous education program collectively generated three Native feminist texts--a T-shirt design for a youth group, a design embedded into the floor of a Native Youth Center, and the walls of the center. This article illustrates a community's attempts to reclaim physical and ideological space in an urban public school district, linking Native feminist theories to the production of three Native feminist texts by a collective of Native students, families, and educators.
