This book shares the true stories of Zitkála-Šá, a Dakota Sioux writer and activist who lived over 100 years ago. It tells about her childhood on the wide prairie, her confusing and sometimes sad time at a boarding school far from home, and her strong spirit as she grew up. Through her eyes, you'll learn about the beauty of Native American traditions and the challenges of living between two very different worlds. Her powerful words help us understand her fight to keep her culture alive.
