This article situates within the gender inequality debate associated with the relation between nature and women, which started to be conceptualized academically in 1970s’ in the philosophical field of ecofeminism. After presenting some ecofeminist perspectives highlighting the reasons of the women/nature link some criticism will be advances showing the limitation of such approach. The argument will then move to the younger field of Indigenous feminism keeping the focus of the relation between nature and women and observing how this has influenced the condition of women within Indigenous communities such as the Igbo people in Nigeria, the Kahnawa:kev people in Canada and the Sami people living in Sapmi.
