Gertrude Bonnin, better known by her Lakota name, Zitkala-Ša, was one of the most prominent American Indians of the early 20th century. A talented writer, orator, and musician, she devoted much of her life to the protection of Native peoples. As such, Bonnin corresponded with many other distinguished persons within the early Native rights movement, including Carlos Montezuma, Richard Henry Pratt, and Arthur C. Parker, as well as Fathers Martin Kenel and William H. Ketcham of the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions. This volume gathers together Bonnin’s letters, lesser-known writings and speeches, illuminating her private and public struggles.International Studies in Sociology and Social Anthropology129.Yankton womenBiographyYankton IndiansBiographyIndian women activistsBiographyIndian activistsBiographyIndians of North AmericaPolitics and governmentIndians of North AmericaCivil rightsSioux NationPolitics and governmentSioux NationGovernment relationsElectronic books.Yankton womenYankton IndiansIndian women activistsIndian activistsIndians of North AmericaPolitics and government.Indians of North AmericaCivil rights.323.119892Zitkala-S̈a1876-1938.1066668Lewandowski Tadeusz1066669NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910511331603321Zitkala-Sa2549728UNINA
