This paper critically evaluates the relationship between Adivasi women and nature as depicted in Mother Forest: The Unfinished Story of C.K. Janu, the memoir of C.K. Janu, a prominent Adivasi leader and activist from Kerala, India. The text provides a nuanced exploration of Janu’s lived experiences as an Adivasi woman, offering insights into the broader socio-political struggles of indigenous communities in securing rights to land, resources, and cultural heritage. Framed within an ecofeminist perspective, this study investigates the depiction of Adivasi women as stewards of the forest, emphasizing their profound, symbiotic relationship with the natural environment, which transcends mere economic considerations. This analysis underscores the critical intersections between gender, indigeneity, and ecology, arguing that the preservation of Adivasi cultural identity and environmental sustainability are mutually dependent. The paper further calls for the recognition of indigenous ecological knowledge and the active inclusion of Adivasi women in environmental justice movements.
