The Timeline of Influential Indigenous Women (IRA1-J10)

It is clear that most chronicles of the land known as Canada are presented solely from a male colonialist perspective. The voice of Indigenous women, who have borne the brunt of the assault on their cultures, has been largely silenced.

This job aid attempts to redress this situation by showcasing Indigenous women's history and their roles in Indigenous society. Users can search by key words to navigate the tool more efficiently and filter results based on subject area.
