#NotYourPrincess is a collection of essays, artwork, poetry, quotes, photographs, interviews, and graphic texts. All of the contributors are Indigenous women representing many different tribes. Lisa Charleyboy introduces the book by saying, “This book...gave me the space to not only write a love letter to all young Indigenous women trying to find their way but also to help dispel those stereotypes so we can collectively move forward to a brighter future for all” (pg. 9). The contributors address trauma, stereotypes, and invisibility, while at the same time also focusing on the strength of family, tradition, and activism.

This collection is not only for Indigenous women. Reading it will provide a window into the lives of Indigenous women and help to bring about a better understanding of the lives they live.

The OKCTE website lists movies, poems, songs, and other books that are related to the voices in #NotYourPrincess.
