Growing up in a matriarchal society I saw how my Dakoda grandfathers displayed this respect towards women. I realize many women didn’t have much of this same experience, as alcohol was introduced in the 60’s. Most after the 60’s didn’t have lived experiences of seeing strong groups of women working together in a healthy society structure. Languages and customs were respected.
