Dancing on Mountains

Women of the Kootenays

Herausgeber: Armstrong, Luanne

Beschreibung

In the style of Gumboot Girls and Dancing in Gumboots, Dancing on Mountains is an inspiring collection of firsthand stories from women of the Kootenays and Sinixt and Ktunaxa Nations. Dancing on Mountains is a collection of inspiring and eclectic stories written by women from across geography and time, each of whom has been drawn to take root in the mystic, beautiful Kootenays. In their own words, these women--teachers, artists, musicians, writers, entrepreneurs, and environmentalists--share stories that embody the spirit of the Kootenays. From fleeing the US draft alongside the men of the 60s and pushing against traditional gender roles and sexism, to reclaiming Indigenous identities, calling out environmental threats, and fighting for our climate today, these stories span the spectrum of human experience. Thoughtful, heartwarming, and delightfully entertaining, Dancing on Mountains is a celebration of the brilliant, radical essence of the women of the Kootenays.
