Since World War II, Indigenous women from many communities have stepped forward through organizations, in their families, or by themselves to take action on behalf of the growing number of Native people living in urban areas. This collection recounts and assesses the struggles, successes, and legacies of several of these women in cities across North America, from San Francisco to Toronto, Vancouver to Chicago, and Seattle to Milwaukee. These wide-ranging and insightful essays illuminate Native communities in cities as well as the women activists working to build them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSusan Applegate Krouse\u003c\/strong\u003e (1955-2010) was an associate professor of anthropology and the director of the American Indian studies program at Michigan State University.
