"A valuable primary resource for information on the American Indian way of life. Zitkala-Sa is required reading for anyone interested in the High Plains way of life."
"The first translation of Native American writing to be produced without an Anglo intermediary. An excellent blend of autobiography and tribal mythos, with a respectful letter to its author by Helen Keller at the beginning (though she wasn't cool enough to resist referring to it as "your little book")."
"This was assigned for a history class that I'm taking. I love stories, I grew up listening to the native legends in Alaska.
It is a fabulous, short read (always good in a history class because you never know) and I highly recommend it.
Zitkala-sa tells her story of growing up, being sent to an "indian school" to be educated and of all that she learned. She tells of her culture and her struggles with her mother, who is from an older time and remembers more clearly the troubles her people had.
She has a beautiful style and her love of storytelling is very evident."
"Seems simply written, but full of metaphors and subtlties that the author could not be open about considering who her audience was. Intriguing glimpse into the life of a Native American struggling between two cultures."
