For Native American Women
Name the Identity Tensions Shaping Your Life at the Intersection of Tribal Identity and American Womanhood
Decide what frameworks are yours to keep.
For the A Native American woman who is examining what tribal identity and American womanhood mean to her — including what each community expects, what she has absorbed, and what she has decided for herself.
The Name It First Experience
Native American women navigate a specific kind of double pressure — the expectations of tribal community and the pressures of American womanhood, both of which have often been defined by forces outside their own control. This workbook does not tell you how to resolve that tension. It helps you see it clearly. What does your tribal identity ask of you? What does American culture ask of you? Where do those asks conflict? And who are you when you are not performing either? The Native American Women's Identity Charter is a record of where you stand.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What have you been asked to carry — from your tribal identity, from American womanhood — that you never agreed to out loud?
- What does American culture ask of you that conflicts with who you are — and how do you navigate that?
- What does your tribal community ask of you as a woman — and how much of that have you chosen versus absorbed?
- What do you want to reclaim or protect from your cultural inheritance — for yourself, not for performance?
