2020. Produced by Katja Esson and Katsitsionni Fox; directed by Katsitsionni Fox. Women Make Movies. Length: 27 minutes. WITHOUT A WHISPER-KONNON:KWE uncovers the hidden history of the profound influence Indigenous women had on the beginnings of the women's rights movement in the United States. Before the first women's rights convention in Seneca Falls in 1848, European colonial women lacked even the most basic rights, while Haudenosaunee women had a potent political and spiritual voice and authority in all aspects of their lives. The contact that the early suffragists had with Haudenosaunee women in New York state shaped their thinking and had a vital impact on their struggle for equality that is taken for granted today.
