We know their names: Hippolyta, Antiope, Thessalia. But they were long thought to be just travelers' tales or products of the Greek storytelling imagination. A lot of scholars still argue that. But archaeology has now proven without a doubt that there really were women fitting the description that the Greeks gave us of Amazons and warrior women.

I wanted in my lifetime to vote for a radical Native American woman, since my vision of any future that we might have is that it will be led by women and older women.

The Native American cultures on this continent, most of them, were matrilineal, and some women were the chiefs. Societies were about balance.

I really identified with Pocahontas' struggles as a young woman trying to identify herself in a modern, changing world and trying to stay true to her culture and heritage.

I absolutely believe the past had its share of warrior women who fought like men. Whether some of these were the actual Amazons from Greek myth is another matter.

I think it's time that we have a women's show about the West. The concentration has been on the men and the Indians.

I never thought that I would have to play an Indian, well half French, but an Indian woman in my life.

I grew up with a tribe of amazing women, but certainly my mother and my godmother really modeled women as actors.

It is so cool to think that there are two female, Indian actresses on prime-time American network television who are considered attractive and funny and smart.
