Resumo

I’m a feminist because I think anything else is unintelligent. And I just can’t go with turning my brain into jello for someone else’s fantasy fulfi llment. I also think it’s ordained by God. I really do think I have divine power on my side in that regard. To me you cannot advocate sovereignty without advocating feminism because feminism should be at its heart the same what sovereignty is. I do see feminism as ordering right relations and I think that’s what Native American traditions are all about, being in balance with one another. Being in balance with all creation, be it the environment, be it nation-to-nation, and I think feminism is that, but it does so from the particular vantage point that women are able to provide, and have always provided.1
