Description

Zitkala-Sa wrestled with the conflicting influences of American Indian and white culture throughout her life.
Raised on a Sioux reservation| she was educated at boarding schools that enforced assimilation and was witness to major events in white-Indian relations in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Tapping her troubled personal history| Zitkala-Sa created stories that illuminate the tragedy and complexity of the American Indian experience.
In evocative prose laced with political savvy| she forces new thinking about the perceptions| assumptions| and customs of both Sioux and white cultures and raises issues of assimilation| identity| and race relations that remain compelling today.
