Indigenous Women's Health Book,

Within the Sacred Circle

The Native American Women’s Health Education Resource Center has released a new book, Indigenous Women’s Health Book, Within the Sacred Circle, in a landmark effort to assist Native American women in developing self-advocacy skills to become active participants in managing our own health. Indigenous Women’s Health Book, Within the Sacred Circle provides guidance in both Western and Indigenous health approaches to specifically address Native American women’s health needs. Topics covered range from traditional midwifery, pregnancy, the politics of reproductive health, contraception, domestic violence, barriers to Indigenous women’s healthcare, health effects of environmental contamination, traditional herbs and remedies, Native American nutrition and weight loss, smoking, alcohol, drug abuse, and much more. Written by a group of compassionate Indigenous women, activists, health experts, and healthcare providers, this pioneering book discusses both physical and mental health issues from a variety of perspectives.

"The many documented and undocumented reproductive rights violations committed against Indigenous women fuel the fire for the reproductive health and rights organizing done by the Resource Center. It is that same fuel that gives birth to this book."
- Co-author Charon Asetoyer, Executive Director of the Native American Women's Health Education Resource Center

"The health statistics of most Indigenous Nations are appalling due in large part to our dependence on external health care systems. Now, with the publication of Indigenous Women’s Health Book, Within the Sacred Circle, they can take control of their own health care."
- Wilma Mankiller, former Principle Chief of the Cherokee Nation

"This long overdue book provides new lifeblood to the collective struggle for healthy women and strong communities.
Anyone who supports this vision should buy it and read it."
- Sara Littlecrow-Russell, Poet and Activist

This book is a compelling resource for the health of our women, our families, and our collective future. We hope that you will join us in our effort to assist Native American women to take control of our physical and mental well-being.
