Rising from Invisibility: Indigenous Arizona Women in Charge of Themselves by Laura Tohe

In many Southwestern matrifocal cultures, Indigenous women’s lives are modeled after female heroes and sacred women who exemplify and express courage and kinship values. Laura Tohe, Arizona’s Poet Laureate and former Navajo Nation Poet Laureate, shares how Indigenous women have contributed in significant ways to their tribal nations, and to contemporary American life. Stop by Tempe History Museum for this free talk presented by Tempe History Society with generous support from Friendship Village.
