Defiant Resistance: Shattering the silence on violence against Indigenous women

A tribute to the strength and agency of First Nations women and families impacted by violence, 'Defiant Resistance' is an act of First Nations self-determination.

Through sharing women's stories in their own words, Marlene Longbottom enables them to take back their narrative and reclaim power. With deeply personal narratives from women who have faced violence and families who have endured profound loss, this book shatters the silence around their stories. Marlene Longbottom amplifies these voices, demanding systemic change that is long overdue and highlighting community-led pathways toward a life beyond violence.
