In conclusion, Pretty-Shield gave us a first-hand experience of what it is like being an indigenous woman. She brought us along on a journey throughout her childhood, telling multiple stories of the women experience. People in today’s society may see specific gender roles as a sexist way of life, however that was the lifestyle for indigenous people. Throughout the stories Pretty-Shield tells, we can see she embraces the fact that men were the warriors of the tribe while they women stayed back and worked around their current living area. This was because the Natives knew working cohesively as one was the key to their survival.
