Native American women powered the American Indian Movement and other social changes, but they are often forgotten by history books. Examining a series of resources, including a documentary film, photographs, secondary sources, and social media from advocacy groups, young scholars recapture the forgotten past. Extension options include sharing their knowledge on social media and other ideas to boost voices silent in textbooks.
