The voices of Aboriginal women in North America are rarely heard outside of the home and community. Community ‘experts’ are usually men. Often, media focus is placed on the sensational and usually negative stories about Aboriginal people, which marginalizes and minimizes Aboriginal women’s voices.
The University of Winnipeg Aboriginal Governance Program Harry Daniels Distinguished Lecture Series and The University of Winnipeg Students’ Association (UWSA) are hosting an evening of celebration November 21, 2006 in honour of the tremendous work accomplished by Aboriginal women in urban and rural communities, in the home and in the school.
