Answered by Examlex AI Copilota. The role of women in Indigenous society has changed in several ways since Contact. Two factors that have contributed to the overall change of roles from the pre-Contact to post-Contact period include the introduction of Western patriarchal systems and the impact of colonization. Before Contact, Indigenous women often held significant roles within their communities, such as being leaders, healers, and decision-makers. However, with the arrival of Western influences, traditional gender roles were disrupted, and women were often marginalized and disempowered.
b. This change has had both positive and negative effects on Indigenous women. On one hand, the introduction of Western education and opportunities has allowed some Indigenous women to pursue higher education and enter the workforce, leading to increased independence and empowerment. On the other hand, the loss of traditional roles and the impact of colonization have led to higher rates of poverty, violence, and discrimination against Indigenous women. Additionally, the imposition of Western beauty standards and gender norms has contributed to issues of body image and self-esteem among Indigenous women. Overall, the change in roles for Indigenous women has been a complex and multifaceted issue with both positive and negative consequences.
