“…The findings also offer little support for Harell and Panagos's (2013) colonialism hypothesis, since the identity gender gap does not explain the party gender gap. One interpretation of this finding is that Harell and Panagos (2013) overestimated the effects of colonialism on the partisan gender gap, which is possible given different understandings of tribal history and traditions. Another possibility is that attitudes toward American Indians play more of a role in explaining the gender gap in party in Canada than in the United States.…”

“…Harell and Panagos (2013) find that although the gender gap in levels of participation among Aboriginal Canadians is similar to that of non-Aboriginal Canadians, the gap in vote choice is greater. Aboriginal Canadians are more likely to vote for the New Democratic Party, which takes the strongest pro-Aboriginal positions, than non-Aboriginal Canadians.…”

“…It is likely that the gender gaps are unique within each group. In fact, the literature on the gender gaps among Hispanics, African Americans, and Asian Americans suggests some variation by race and ethnicity (Bedolla, Monforti, and Pantoja 2006; Bejarano 2014; Bejarano, Manzano, and Montoya 2011; Harell and Panagos 2013; Montoya 1996). Some research on Hispanics finds fairly weak gender gaps, although in the same direction as Anglos (Montoya 1996; Welch and Sigelman 1992), while other research finds larger gender gaps (Bedolla, Monforti, and Pantoja 2006).…”

“…The little research that has examined the gender gaps within groups has virtually ignored American Indians. Harell and Panagos (2013) offer the only published examination of gender gaps among American Indians, and their study is limited to examining voter turnout and choice among Aboriginals in Canada 1…”

While there is much research examining gender gaps in political attitudes, there is less examining how gender gaps differ within social groups. This article helps fill that void by examining gender gaps among American Indians. Using two surveys, the initial findings suggest that among American Indians, women have a stronger American Indian identity, are more likely to support women's/compassion issues, and are more likely to be Democrats. It further finds that the gender gap in party is more likely the result of the gender gap in compassion issues than in American Indian identity. Additional analysis finds that among American Indians who prioritize their American Indian identity, the partisan gender gap is reversed, with men being significantly more likely to be Democrats. Although this study finds some similarities between the gaps among American Indians and whites, it also finds some unique gaps among American Indians. This suggests the need to look at the intersectionality of gender and social groups to fully understand the gender gaps.

“…Similarly, gender gaps in vote choice among Aboriginal women tend to be far larger than among the larger Canadian population, especially for Aboriginal women living on reserves (Harell and Panagos, 2013). While some of these gaps can be explained by differences in underlying levels of socioeconomic resources, this is only part of the explanation.…”

Research on gendered political behaviour has been heavily influenced by feminist scholarship in understanding gender inequalities. Yet it has been more difficult to integrate the insights of more recent waves of feminist critics, notably among intersectional scholars. The focus has been on differences between women and men, rather than among differently situated women. This article addresses the difficulties of integrating intersections into large-n style studies of political behaviour using “situated comparisons” (Dhamoon, 2010). It then provides an analysis of gender gaps in turnout and civic engagement across ethnoracial groups in Canada using the Ethnic Diversity Survey (2002).It concludes by arguing that the study of gender and political behaviour must find a place for intersectional feminist approaches.
