Empowerment Of North American Indian Girls
Offers overview of coming-of-age-ceremonies for American Indian girls, featuring a look at Native ideas about human development and puberty. Many North American Indian cultures regard the transition from childhood to adulthood as a pivotal and potentially vulnerable phase of life and have accordingly devised coming-of-age rituals.
