Wo(men) and Bears: The Gifts of Nature, Culture and Gender Revisited

Wo(men) and Bears revisits classical debates in women's cultural and Native studies regarding nature and culture. As a mixed-genre anthology--academic and poetic, conversational and critical--the book consists of interdisciplinary and intercultural approaches on a widely-circulated ancient myth, story, history, and sacred law (ayaawux) focused on wo(men) co-habiting with bears where women defy dualistic gender roles and relations and interact with nature in a variety of adaptive or transgressive ways.
