Body

On the Ground • Native women are the fastest growing demographic among Native farmers and ranchers and have the ability, creativity, and cultural wealth to transform and restore the relationship to the land. • However, these women must be empowered in a western agricultural world that is male dominated. • Tribal self-sustainability will require changes in policies for land tenure and inclusion of women. • Native women will need to keep abreast of local and national land issues that affect our resources and that increase their knowledge and skills. • Education will give Native women and our youth the freedom to choose what is best for the future. The Rangelands archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries. Contact lbry-journals@email.arizona.edu for further information.
