Matrifocality (p. 3): focused/centred on the mother. Matrilinearity (p. 3): kinship based with the mother or female line. Keres (p. 209): one people/tribe of the pueblo nation. Lysistratas (p. 213): a wife that withholds sex for the greater good. Biota (p. 218): animal and plant life in a specific region. 7 major themes that informed her writing the book the sacred hoop: recovering the feminine in american indian traditions (1986) Indians endure: indigenous peoples (ip) will never disappear tribal systems have been operating in the new world" for several hundred thousand years.
