Has anybody read this book yet? Emily's story is included! Copies are on order for Hennepin County Library; you may place a hold on one there.

For decades, Native American women leaders in the Twin Cities helped build numerous organizations and contributed to the arts, education and community — now their story is being told.

White Earth Nation citizen Audrey Thayer co-authored “Weaving Community: Indigenous Women and Leadership in the Twin Cities” with Colette Hyman. The nine-year project shares stories of women activists who founded and led around 25 organizations in Minneapolis and St. Paul, beginning as early as the 1950s — many of those organizations are still active today.
