Moved by great demand for information on Native American women and by the success of our previous two Women of Hope series focusing on African-American and Latina women, our Native American and Hawaiian Women of Hope posters is the third series produced by the Bread and Roses Cultural Project. The women featured in the posters, selected by a panel of Native American scholars and community people, were chosen for their courage, compassion and contributions as Native American people. Photographer Hulleah J. Tsinhnahjinnie (Seminole/Creek/Navajo) spent the past year travelling across the country learning about the lives of the women. A professional photographer and graphics designer since 1980, she is known for her political commentary on native issues. She has exhibited nationally and internationally. Prepared by a team of noted women scholars including three Native American women, a study guide accompanies the posters. The guide reflects the sensibilities of Native American women including culture, social values, beliefs, intellectual achievements and language. The poster set consists of 12 full color 18" x 24" posters, designed to provide a unique insight into women who have played major roles in bringing about social and political change in government and law, in literature, the arts, and in medicine and science. The Women of Hope posters are in thousands of schools and libraries and have been displayed in trains, buses, airports and many other public spaces such as galleries, libraries, community centers and women's service organizations. Bread and Roses is the cultural arm of 1199, National Health and Human Service Employees Union. For ordering information call toll free: 1-. |
