Founded in the late nineteenth century, the Women's National Indian
Association was one of several reform associations that worked to
implement the government's assimilation policy directed at Native
peoples. The women of the WNIA combined political action with
efforts to improve health and home life and spread Christianity on
often remote reservations. During its more than seventy-year
history, the WNIA established over sixty missionary sites in which
they provided Native peoples with home-building loans, founded
schools, built missionary cottages and chapels, and worked toward
the realization of reservation hospitals. Gender, Race, and Power
in the Indian Reform Movement reveals the complicated intersections
of gender, race, and identity at the heart of Indian reform. This
collection of essays offers a new interpretation of the WNIA's
founding, argues that the WNIA provided opportunities for
indigenous women, creates a new space in the public sphere for
white women, and reveals the WNIA's role in broader national
debates centered on Indian land rights and the political power of
Christian reform.
