Summary:Indigenous women have long been excluded from the scholarship on Indigenous people and a number of scholars have been critical of the absence of Indigenous female voices in the scholarship. Though there is growing literature about Indigenous women, there remains a need for scholarship that address the roles and realities of Indigenous women in leadership.
