1988

Brant, Beth. "Grandmothers of a New World." Ikon 8 (1988): 48-60. (Writing as Witness. Toronto: Women's Press, 1994. 83-103.) Essay on Pocahontas and Cherokee Nancy Ward. Described as an "excerpt from a speech delivered at the University of Illinois, Champaign, Urbana for Woman's History month, March, 1987." See annotation for book version 1994, where there are some changes, though not significant. This final interesting line, however, is not in the 1994 version: "A powhatan shaman and a Cherokee Beloved Woman -- they did not fail their communities. Their dream should be ours, together. What we can do in their memory and honor is to continue the search for truth in all things."
