“A truly significant contribution to the field exploring Indigenous approaches to menstruation and the meaning of womanhood. That it is grounded in the particular culture of the author makes it all the more valuable and unique.”
—KIM ANDERSON, author of Life Stages and Native Women: Memory, Teachings, and Story Medicine “I am in awe . . . Risling Baldy’s interventions into the field are many and absolutely necessary. We Are Dancing for You is located in a place, in the lives of a community where the voices of individual women are heard, as is the author’s. [This book] locates its authority in community knowledge and language. It pushes back against the outside, primarily white male ethnographic professional as authority.” —DIAN MILLION (Tanana), author of Therapeutic Nations: Healing in an Age of Indigenous Human Rights |
