Summary

An exemplar of Indigenous Studies writing, epistemologically, theoretically and methodologically

Us Women, Our Ways, Our world is a collection of writings on women and Aboriginal identity from 14 senior Aboriginal academics and community leaders.

The collection engages with questions such as:

• What makes Aboriginal women strong?
• Why are grandmothers so important (even ones never met)?
• How is the connection to country different for Aboriginal people compared to non-Aboriginal people's love of nature or sense of belonging to an area?
• What is Aboriginal spirituality?

These writings are generous, inclusive and considerate of the non-Aboriginal reader's feelings. They are hopeful for the future, with an emphasis on acknowledging, joining with, collaborating and caring.
