Native American feminism or Native feminism is,at its root,understanding how gender plays an important role in indigenous communities both historically and in modern-day. As well,Native American feminism deconstructs the racial and broader stereotypes of indigenous peoples,gender,sexuality,while also focusing on decolonization and breaking down the patriarchy and pro-capitalist ideology. As a branch of the broader Indigenous feminism,it similarly prioritizes decolonization,indigenous sovereignty,and the empowerment of indigenous women and girls in the context of Native American and First Nations cultural values and priorities,rather than white,mainstream ones. A central and urgent issue for Native feminists is the Missing and murdered Indigenous women crisis.

Indigenous response to colonialism has varied depending on the Indigenous group,historical period,territory,and colonial state(s) they have interacted with. Indigenous peoples have had agency in their response to colonialism. They have employed armed resistance,diplomacy,and legal procedures. Others have fled to inhospitable,undesirable or remote territories to avoid conflict. Nevertheless,some Indigenous peoples were forced to move to reservations or reductions,and work in mines,plantations,construction,and domestic tasks. They have detribalized and culturally assimilated into colonial societies. On occasion,Indigenous peoples have formed alliances with one or more Indigenous or non-Indigenous nations. Overall,the response of Indigenous peoples to colonialism during this period has been diverse and varied in its effectiveness. Indigenous resistance has a centuries-long history that is complex and carries on into contemporary times.
Indigenous resurgence is a transformative movement of resistance and decolonization. The practice of Indigenous resurgence is a form of regenerative nation-building and reconnection with all their relations. It constitutes kin-centric relationships among BIPOC peoples and with the natural world.
