“…Additionally, athletics have played a central role in shaping Indigenous education, informing interpretations of race and race relations, and contributing to the formulation of contemporary Indigenous identities. Although sports were introduced into boarding schools to civilize both Indigenous males and females (Delsahut & Terret, 2014), especially through the introduction of football and basketball, boarding school athletic programs created a context for the celebration of intertribal cooperation and identity, sometimes on a scale rarely ever seen before. Sports facilitated opportunities and cultural exchange for Indigenous students during a time that aimed to instill western education to accelerate Indigenous cultural extinction (Bloom, 2000;Child, 2000;Gems, 2005;Jenkins, 2007;Oxendine, 1988).…”

Indigenous Peoples have an inherent responsibility and right to “exercising” sovereignty—the practice of sport and physical activity in performance of our cultural, political, and spiritual citizenship. By exercising this inherent right and responsibility, sport has the power for communities to reenvision their futures. Sport and physical activity are highly regarded and practiced in multiple contexts within Indigenous communities. Utilizing Indigenous ways of knowing, practices of resurgence, Indigenous activism, and Indigenous responses to political and cultural injustices, we apply the five protective factors of “exercising” sovereignty, including community, relationality, strength, abundance, and resilience to analyze Indigenous sport research in North America.

В данной статье автор рассматривает женский спорт в контексте эволюции гендерных отношений, самоутверждения женщин в процессе исторического развития общества. Как авангард женской эмансипации, спортивный феминизм демонстрирует преодоление патриархатных устоев, совершенствование полоролевых отношений, через игры и состязания позиционирует женщин как равных партнеров с мужчинами. Особое внимание в статье уделяется трансформации гендерных стереотипов, имиджа и статуса женщин в спорте сквозь призму метаморфоз и парадоксов социальной истории различных региональных, социальных, культурных групп и женского спортивного движения в целом. Глобальные изменения, связанные с переходом к информационной эпохе, сопровождаются ростом экономических кризисов, массовых миграций, культурных конфликтов, пандемий и войн. Новые реалии противостоят досовременным социальным порядкам, стимулируют совершенствование человеческих отношений, преодоление многочисленных противоречий, в числе которых особо выделяются взаимоотношения полов. Гендерное равенство остается одним из ключевых вопросов модернизации общества. Спортивный феминизм, авангард женской эмансипации, возникший в русле общественно-политического движения женщин в ответ на мужское доминирование, актуализирует положение женщин в обществе, выражает их самоутверждение через спорт, как наиболее организованную форму борьбы за равные с мужчинами права. Спортивные арены выступают платформой демонстрации социальных проблем, связанных с гендерным неравенством в оплате труда, сексуализации женского тела и т.п. The article explores women sport in the context of gender relationship evolution, female self-affirmation in the process of historical development of society. As vanguard of female emancipation sport feminism displays overcoming of androcentric foundations, perfection of gender relations, puts up the women as equal partners with men. I focus on transformation of gender stereotypes, image and status of women in sport through the prism of metamorphoses and paradoxes of the social history of different regional, social, cultural groups and female sport movement on the whole. Global changes associated with the transition to the information age are accompanied by growing economic crises, mass migrations, cultural conflicts, pandemics and wars. New realities confront the pre-modern social orders, stimulate the improvement of human relations and the overcoming of numerous contradictions, among which gender relations stand out. Gender equality remains one of the key issues of social modernization. Sports feminism, the vanguard of women's emancipation, which emerged in the context of the social and political movement of women in response to male domination, actualizes the position of women in society, expresses their self-affirmation through sports as the most organized form of struggle for equal rights with men. Sports arenas serve as a platform for demonstrating social problems related to gender inequality in wages, sexualization of the female body, etc.
