Native American Lakota star Articles and Creative Writings from Native Educators Native American Lakota star
 Irene I. Blea, Ph.D

Dr. Blea has a doctorate degree in Sociology. Her latest book, The Feminization of Racism: Promoting Peace in America, contains a critical review of the early feminist movement's failure to make racism a feminist issue, chapters on the social-history and statistics on Native American, African American, Asian women and Chicanas\Latinas. It basically challenges that 9\11 was the first time Americans were terrorized on their own land.                      *Page Updated on: 04/26/2010


Mountain Women

            There are women in the sierra about to become extinct

            special kinds of human beings

            strong and sometimes not very feminine

 

            Their skin is weathered by the wind

            the rain returns the moisture

            they like to dance and sing

 

            They work hard, these mountain women

            assuming this is part of life

            most men say they make a good wife

 

            The women survive in dry high altitudes

            They know one way to stay alive

            one day at a time

 

            Take them into the city and they drown

            they get depressed

            the pollution breaks them down

 

            If they survive they live a lie

            they simply waste away

            they slowly die.
