• Summary:"One Bead at a Time is the oral memoir of Beverly Little Thunder, a two-spirit Lakota Elder, who has lived most of her life in service to Indigenous and non-Indigenous women in both the U.S. and Canada. Transcribed and edited by two-spirit Métis writer Sharron Proulx-Turner, Little Thunder's narrative is told verbatim, her melodious voice and keen sense of humour almost audible overtop of the text on the page. A truly remarkable visionary, Little Thunder established the first and only all-women's Sundance in the world, securing a land base in the Green Mountains of Vermont for future generations. She was active in the American Indian Movement and continues to practice and promote political and spiritual awareness for Indigenous women around the world." -- Back cover.
