Synopsis

'Warrior Women' makes visible the ongoing intergenerational narrative reverberations (Young, 2003; 2005) shaped through Canada's residential school era which denied the communal and cultural, economic, educational, human, familial, linguistic, and spiritual rights of Aboriginal people. Attending to these narrative reverberations foregrounded the continuing colonial barriers faced by six Aboriginal post secondary students as they composed their lives in a current era of increasing standardization in Canadian universities and schools. Yet, what also became visible were ways in which the Aboriginal teachers increasingly reclaimed or drew upon their ancestral ways of knowing and being.

Review:

In poem and prose, ten Aboriginal Canadian women recount their post-secondary education experiences as they studied to become teachers. Among their perspectives are storied experiences shaping the stories we live by, co-composing relational narrative inquiry, reclaiming and maintaining our Aboriginal ancestry, counterstories as shaping new curriculum-making possibilities, being included in and balancing the complexities of becoming an Aboriginal teacher, and sharing our forward-looking stories.
