Voices of Aboriginal Women: Aboriginal women speak out about violence

(by CCSD and the Native Women's Association of Canada, 1991, 36 pp., #478, $7.00)

A joint project of NWAC and the CCSD, this booklet provides the first-hand accounts of six Aboriginal women's experiences with abuse, both of themselves and their families, and of their culture and society. They are survivors of a violence born of despair and loss of hope all too widespread in Native communities. But they are also stories of personal strength and courage, as the concluding section on the healing process demonstrates.
