- Title
Native American Women.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the social conditions of native American women after the Civil War. After the Civil War, the U.S. military force enslaved native people in the west which led to an upheaval in the political and economical conditions. This had a tremendous impact on different tribes of American women including the Cheyenne, Arapaho and Sioux. The cross tribal alliances among women suffered due to lack of contact sources. The nomads of the Great Plains had an impact on the lives of these women and introduced various sources of livelihood to improve their economic conditions. The article mentions Navajo women's rug weaving trade with European traders.
