This is a list of notable Native American women of the United States. Please note that it should contain only Native women of the United States and its territories, not First Nations women or Native women of Central and South America. Native American identity is a complex and contested issue. The Bureau of Indian Affairs defines Native American as having American Indian or Alaska Native ancestry. Legally, being Native American is defined as being enrolled in a federally recognized tribe or Alaskan village. These entities establish their own membership rules, and they vary. Each must be understood independently. Ethnologically, factors such as culture, history, language, religion, and familial kinships can influence Native American identity.〔("IV. Our Nation’s American Indian and Alaska Native Citizens." ) ''US Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs.'' Retrieved 8 July 2012.〕 All individuals on this list should have Native American ancestry. Historical figures might predate tribal enrollment practices and may be included based on reliable sources that document ethnological tribal membership. Any contemporary individuals should either be enrolled members of federally recognized tribes, or have cited Native American ancestry and be recognized as Native American by their respective tribes. Contemporary individuals who are not enrolled in a tribe but are documented as having tribal descent are listed as being "of descent" from a tribe. ==A== *Louise Abeita (E-Yeh-Shure', Blue Corn) (b. 1926), Isleta Pueblo author〔Bataille and Lisa 1〕 *Rebecca Adamson (born 1950), Cherokee businessperson and advocate *Aguilar sisters, Santo Domingo Pueblo potters *Ai (born 1947), Choctaw, Chickasaw, Southern Cheyenne, and Comanche-descent poet *Elsie Allen, Cloverdale Pomo basket weaver〔Bataille and Lisa 6〕 *Paula Gunn Allen (1939–2008), Laguna Pueblo-Sioux-Lebanese poet, activist, literary critic, and novelist〔Bataille and Lisa 9〕 *Tammie Allen (Walking Spirit), Jicarilla Apache, potter *Queen Alliquippa (died 1754), Seneca Nation leader *Princess Angeline (Suquamish-Duwamish, ca. 1820–1896), daughter of Chief Seattle *Queen Ann (ca. 1650–ca. 1725), chief of the Pamunkey tribe *Annie Antone, Tohono O'odham basketweaver * Annette Arkeketa, Otoe-Missouria poet, playwright *Anna Mae Pictou Aquash (1945–1976), Mi'qmaq Indians rights activist〔Bataille and Lisa 15〕 *Awashonks, chief of the Sakonett tribe〔(Indian Woman Chief )〕 * Annette Arkeketa, Otoe-Missouria-Muscogee Creek writer〔(Hypatia. ) ''Project Muse.'' 18:2, Spring 2003 .
