Born on the Yankton Sioux Reservation, she remained true to her indigenous heritage as a student at the Boston Conservatory and a teacher at the Carlisle Indian School, as an activist in turn attacking the Carlisle School, as an artist celebrating Native stories and myths, and as an active member of the Society of American Indians in Washington DC. All these currents of Zitkala-Sa's rich life come together in this book, which presents her previously unpublished stories, rare poems, and the libretto of \u003ci\u003eThe Sun Dance Opera.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eZitkala-Sa is the author of \u003ci\u003eAmerican Indian Stories\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eIktomi and the Ducks and Other Sioux Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, both available in Bison Books editions.
