 \nWeaving Community is a compelling history of the often overlooked work
  of contemporary Native American women who took action to strengthen the
  bonds within and among their urban communities.\nFrom the 1960s through
  the 1990s in Minneapolis and St. Paul\, Native women activists helped b
 uild institutions that sustain urban Indigenous communities to this day.
  Weaving Community pays tribute to figures such as Vernell Wabasha\, Win
 ifred Jourdain\, Bonnie Wallace\, and Laura Waterman Wittstock\, leaders
  in addressing the needs of Native people living in the metropolitan are
 a. Thanks to their combined efforts\, the Twin Cities gave rise to notew
 orthy organizations including the Indian Health Board of Minneapolis\, t
 he first off-reservation health care center for Indigenous people\; MIGI
 ZI\, a nonprofit that supports the educational\, economic\, and cultural
  needs of Indigenous youth\; and Project STAIRS\, which addressed the mi
 streatment of Native students in public schools and laid the foundation 
 for the University of Minnesota’s American Indian Studies program.\nDr
 awing on oral histories and individual interviews\, Audrey Thayer and Co
 lette Hyman share powerful testimonies of urban Native community buildin
 g. The two dozen Dakota\, Anishinaabe\, and Ho-Chunk women who tell thei
 r stories in Weaving Community display the cultural values of strong fem
 ale leadership as well as the vital importance of preserving traditions\
 , ceremonies\, and languages. At a crucial moment in history\, these wom
 en persevered so that Indigenous people in the Twin Cities could lead li
 ves of dignity and cultural integrity.\nAbout the authors:\nAudrey Thaye

 emidji\, Minnesota. Colette A. Hyman is professor emerita at Winona Stat
