Some thoughts about Lakota Woman...

- The author is openly hostile to white society. Is this attitude justified?

- Along the same line of thought, the author is often bitter about perceived harassment by federal authorities. Didn't she take part in many actions that were brazenly seditious to the United States government? Was the government's response to these actions appropriate?

- Many events described by Mary Crow Dog defy, or at least test the limits, of Western science. How should we interpret these events?

- Lakota Woman is often used in classrooms as an example of feminist literature. How would white feminists interpret her decision to become Leonard Crow Dog's wife? Was the second half of the book about her life or her husband's life?

We'll be meeting to discuss Lakota Woman on June 11th at noon in Conference Room 3 of Main Library downtown.
