Introduction.
The second Dakota Roundtable was held in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on September 2628, 1994, to bring together Native American women throughout the Aberdeen area of the United States. The emphasis on this second Roundtable gathering was to elicit information about the status of Native American women, from the perspective of the women themselves.
As with the first 1993 Roundtable held in Pierre, South Dakota which addressed the issues of Native American children, the 1994 Dakota Roundtable meetings were held in the same spirit of recognizing that answers to different problems facing Native American women can be demystified and solved. The Roundtable process encourages individuals to take the opportunity to verbalize their personal, social, and historical realities. As the women thought about and expressed their conditions and issues, problem-solving occurred, for themselves, for their families and for their communities.
Using this interactive process of sharing, discussing among each other and problem-solving in a Roundtable manner, the women who participated were asked to think of themselves as experts on Native American women's issues on the basis of their own experiences as indigenous U.S. women. Participating Native American women shared their lived experiences and knowledge of traditional teachings.
There were many difficult issues which the women had the courage to address during the Roundtable on the Status of Native American Women. In reading the text that follows, it is important to remember ...
