Margo Tamez

[1]

Margo Tamez (born Austin, Texas, January 28, 1962) is an Nde' indigenous Lipan Apache and Jumano Apache scholar and poet. She was born and grew up in South Texas and the Lower Rio Grande Valley, along the Texas-Mexico border. Tamez's 2007 work, Raven Eye, is considered the first fusion of creative non-fiction, biography, and poetry genres by an Apache woman in the U.S.[2] Known primarily as an indigenous human rights defender and poet, Tamez has taught in Native American communities, at the college and university level, and has actively performed and published her work across North America. As a social justice advocate, Tamez' work has bridged gender issues, environmental racism, indigenous self-determination struggles, international law, sexuality, racial discrimination, poverty, class, ethnicity, and border indigenous feminisms with a focus on the U.S.-Mexico international transboundary.[3]
