This collection is an excellent example of the intention of Decolonizing Methodologies. We must live the work, we must internalise the work, and we must find ways to make the work our own based on our identities, our experiences, our communities, and the land where we are from. This collection of essays provides an extensive range of examples across numerous disciplines where Indigenous women are doing just that.
