Description
File contains a presentation by Greta Gunner. Gunner discusses her concerns about the treatment of Aboriginal women and the prejudices they face. Although originally scheduled to discuss her concerns on education, she felt "moved to talk and to speak on behalf of Native women and that the views that I express today are my own views, that I do not speak on behalf of the Native Women's group." She states that "as native women we not only suffer oppression by the white society, but we also [suffer] oppression by our own men" then goes on to discuss the barriers Aboriginal women face.
