Working with decolonizing theory to understand the stories shared, the author examines how the continued colonization of native women’s minds and bodies impacts their humanity in both perception and treatment by others. The author discuses decolonizing research as both action and process, considers the effectiveness of a decolonizing strategy in life history research, and calls on others to take a decolonizing approach in their own work.
