What are some of the consequences they are experiencing now, before the mine?
2. In the text, What Does It Mean to Be an Indigenous Woman, it states some of the outfits the indigenous women choose to wear are, “considered a political  act of protest and denunciation,” (83). Are there any legal consequences put in place to try to force indigenous women to conform to societal clothing norms?
