Zitkala-Sa writes with such poignant honesty, poetically highlighting her heritage. It's both a memoir and yet poetry to read.
She talks about challenging moments, the clashes of culture, and the presence of change that highlight a moment in time that is rarely spoken about unless in historical terms, and even then, it's at a minimum.
Reading her work has me interested in learning more about her, her body of writing, and her position within and out of her tribe.
