Read the Fine Print
This lesson demonstrates that although "women's work" was belittled in European cultures, Native women's daily contributions were recognized by Native men and the tribe as a whole as vital to the prosperity of the community and worthy of respect. By comparing the condition of women in America and other lands (including colonists), students will discover that women's status in their community was directly related to the social hierarchy, religious culture, and natural environment in which they lived, and that the combination of those ingredients varied wildly across the continents.
