In Keetsahnak / Our Murdered and Missing Indigenous Sisters, the
tension between personal, political, and public action is brought
home starkly as the contributors look at the roots of violence and
how it diminishes life for all. Together, they create a model for
anti-violence work from an Indigenous perspective. They acknowledge
the destruction wrought by colonial violence, and also look at
controversial topics such as lateral violence, challenges in
working with "tradition," and problematic notions involved in
"helping." Through stories of resilience, resistance, and activism,
the editors give voice to powerful personal testimony and allow for
the creation of knowledge. It's in all of our best interests to
take on gender violence as a core resurgence project, a core
decolonization project, a core of Indigenous nation building, and
as the backbone of any Indigenous mobilization. -Leanne
