In this revolutionary text, prominent Native American scholar and activist Andrea Smith reveals the connection between different forms of violence – perpetrated by the state and by society at large – and documents their impact on Native women.

Beginning with the impact of the abuses inflicted on Native American children at state-sanctioned boarding schools from the 1880s to the 1980s, Smith adroitly expands our conception of violence to include the widespread appropriation of Indian cultural practices by whites and other non-Natives; environmental racism; and population control. Smith deftly connects these and other examples of historical and contemporary colonialism to the high rates of violence against Native American women – the most likely to suffer from poverty-related illnesses and to survive rape and partner abuse. Smith also outlines radical and innovative strategies for eliminating gendered violence.
