Gender & Sex Roles
The imposition of patriarchy through colonization and continued historical oppression have imposed patriarchal gender norms on Indigenous communities. In these articles, we examine gender and sex roles and their wide-reaching influence on spheres such as health and wellness, family and home life, and intimate partner violence. We also highlight how Native American women have resisted these roles and reclaimed egalitarian roles that were present prior to colonization.
