{"product_id":"9781101560259","title":"Holding Our World Together: Ojibwe Women and the Survival of Community","description":"\u003cb\u003e A groundbreaking exploration of the remarkable women in Native  American communities. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eToo often ignored or underemphasized in favor of their male warrior  counterparts, Native American women have played a more central role in  guiding their nations than has ever been understood. Many Native  communities were, in fact, organized around women's labor, the sanctity  of mothers, and the wisdom of female elders. In this well-researched  and deeply felt account of the Ojibwe of Lake Superior and the  Mississippi River, Brenda J. Child details the ways in which women have  shaped Native American life from the days of early trade with Europeans  through the reservation era and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe latest volume in the Penguin Library of American Indian History,  \u003ci\u003eHolding Our World Together\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the lives of women such  as Madeleine Cadotte, who became a powerful mediator between her people  and European fur traders, and Gertrude Buckanaga, whose postwar  community activism in Minneapolis helped bring many Indian families out  of poverty. Drawing on these stories and others, Child offers a  powerful tribute to the many courageous women who sustained Native  communities through the darkest challenges of the last three centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Temple Publications International, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47077281825008,"sku":"9781101560259","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101560259_p0.jpg?v=1763687962","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101560259","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
