A review by speculativebecky
American Indian Stories by Zitkála-Šá

4.0

This collection was a challenging and powerfully educational read for me, learning from Zitkála-Šá about her disparate experiences growing up, her childhood cut short when she’s taken East from het family to a white Christian-run school. This is such a small volume, but it packs in so much, and I’m deeply appreciative of the opportunity to learn from Zitkála-Šá about history and identity in her own words. This sort of first person #ownvoices account is what I wish I’d been taught in American History in school. Recommended.
