Abstract EN
This paper examines how through a group of seven native women, Tomson Highway's The Rez Sisters explores themes of empowerment and community development.
It looks at how a group of seven native women, all sisters in one way or another, develop from the animosity of bickering "bitches" to a close community, tied together by their gender, circumstances and ancestry.
It portrays how through their journey to The Biggest Bingo in the World the women are empowered to achieve a common goal, taking responsibility for themselves and for each other.
Keywords: Self Empowerment, Community developmental Red Indians.
