Abstract

Reclaiming and reconstructing gender roles and re‐establishing the status and position of Indigenous Australian women continues to be a significant part of future Indigenous developments. While acknowledging that the processes of colonization have distorted and diminished women's leadership roles, strong Aboriginal women have actively shaped Indigenous communities and politics. Aboriginal women are challenging and voicing new ways to reclaim and reconstruct their identities as culturally located and to free themselves from colonial interpretations.
