1 Hand him over to me and I shall know very well what to do with him : The Gender Map and Ritual Native Female Violence in Early America1 Felicity Donohoe Abstract Native North American women occupy a relatively small portion of colonial American and Canadian historiography, and often appear as handmaidens to masculine endeavour in the dynamic age of colonisation and expansion. The construction of their image relied heavily on Euro-American conceptions of recognised femininities but accounts of Native women s warfare activities challenged these preferred images of exotic temptresses or squaw drudges.
