Sex Roles At the Indian-Majority Interface in Minnesota

Abstract

Recently Indian men have played a major role in the new activist—sometimes militant—organisations acting on behalf of Indian people. However, this major role contrasts markedly with the situation usually encountered in most social institutions. There one finds more Indian women in influential positions, with more Indian men relegated to custodial positions. This paper addresses the patterns and distribution of this bias against Indian men. It contrasts this bias in the general society with the major social role played by men within Indian social forms. Hypotheses are included that may aid our under standing of both the psychological and social dimensions of this phenomenon. Remedial measures are suggested.
