Warrior Women

Through a circular indigenous style of storytelling, Warrior Women relates the lifelong struggle of a Lakota mother and daughter in the American Indian Movement’s fight for Native liberation from the 1970s to protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline in Standing Rock, ND in 2016.

The women of the American Indian Movement fight from a vulnerable place only matriarchs can understand. For them, the Movement is a battle for their children and the culture they hope to preserve for them.
