For decades she was a tireless activist, theorist, and teacher who lived and advocated for intersectionality in anti-oppression action and thinking long before it was fashionable.
Three Rivers was one of the founders of the Womyn of Colour Tent and Sanctuary at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, an international feminist music festival held every August for four decades.
In 1990, she published "Cultural Etiquette: A Guide for the Well-Intentioned" through Market Wimmin, a womanist business she co-founded. The book was revised in 1991. Over the years, she continued to self-publish and sell the book as she was able financially and as challenges to her health allowed.
After attending and being honored at the last Michigan Womyn's Music Festival in 2015, Amoja Three Rivers died from a sudden and brief illness in December of that year.view less
