Native American Women & Environmental Struggles
Native American women are in the frontlines of numerous struggles to protect and save the environment. Indian reservations are the sites of much environmental degradation. Native American women lead resistance to mining operations, clearcutting, dam projects and toxic and nuclear waste dumps. Their underfunded and mostly volunteer efforts barely make the news, reflecting the larger invisibility of Indian people.
