![American Indian stories / by Zitkala-Sa (Gertrude Bonnin) Washington: Hayworth Pub. House, 1921. [Call number Ayer 251 .D151 Z82 1921]
“American Indian Stories” is a collection of childhood stories, allegorical fictions and essays written by Yankton Dakota writer Zitkala-Sa. The collection includes stories from Dakota oral tradition, including several of Zitkala-Ša’s articles that were originally published in Harper’s Monthly and Atlantic Monthly.
First published in 1921, “American Indian Stories” details the hardships encountered by Zitkala-Sa and other Native people in the missionary and manual labour schools designed to “civilize” them and assimilate them to white culture.
The autobiographical writings described her early life on the Yankton Reservation, her years as a student at White’s Manual Labor Institute and Earlham College, and her time teaching at Carlisle Indian Industrial School.](https://www.analulopez.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed-pro/img/placeholder.png)
