Indigenous Women and Street Gangs
Survivance NarrativesAmber, Bev, Chantel, Jazmyne, Faith, and Jorgina are six Indigenous women previously involved in street gangs or the street lifestyle in Saskatoon, Regina, and Calgary. In collaboration with Indigenous Studies scholar Robert Henry (M’tis), they share their stories using photovoice, a process where participants are understood to be the experts of their own experiences. Each photograph in the book was selected and placed in order to show how the authors have changed with their experiences. Following their photographs, the authors each share a narrative that begins with their earliest memory and continues to the present. Throughout, these women show us the meaning of survivance, a process of resistance, resurgence, and growth. ISBN: 9781772125498, 1772125490
