Abstract
Because of the complex legal relationships between the U.S. government and sovereign Indian tribes, “citizenship” has multiple meanings for Native Americans who feel bound to their tribes, their ancestral land, and the United States. In order to protect their legal and historical rights to all three, Native Americans have advocated through the legislative system, and women have often taken the lead. Kay Reid describes the efforts of tribal leaders such as Delores Pigsley, Kathryn Harrison, N. Kathryn “Kat” Brigham, and many others in the tribal restoration process and the protection of tribal land and resources. Reid is a main contributor to the Institute for Tribal Government (PSU) “Great Tribal Leaders of Modern Times” oral history project, and she uses excerpts from her interviews to illustrate the dedicated contributions Native American women have made to their intertwined communities.
