5.0 out of 5 stars Found out about the book at the Chicago Writers museum

Found out about the book at the Chicago Writers museum , it had a show of the most important books in American history by American writers- was feeling smug about having read most of them, but had never heard of this book - so I ordered it, it small - more of a short story of an Indian girl being convinced by missionaries to go to Indian school back east - and how she never again felt at home again with her people, or with white people ... its short, spare, and communicates the images of her life completely. I can't believe this was never in my school work in either late elementary or middle school. This book is an important part of American history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short Time Capsule, Beautifully Written
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2020

I am disappointed I was not introduced to this author as a Literature Major, but instead stumbled upon her. This work should be included in American History and Literature classes, as it is well-written and highly important. Here she describes the sorrow in being caught between two cultures after being shipped to the white missionary school, by her own choice. She beautifully describes the Native way of life of her childhood, how those ways changed through European-American influence, and what it was like to cross over into the white-American culture of her time.

Excellent primary document. Her story provides a first hand account of some of the difficulties and losses growing up as a Native American under the subjugation of the United States. I am heart broken.

A good read of a girl to woman reclaiming herself from other's idea of what she should be. Being told to be 'other' than what she was born to be and growing up believing she needed to be what she was told to be. Then finding herself and following her spirit, writing to tell her story and thoughts, sharing this with us. Wonderful.

Ich hatte soviel über Zitkala-sa gelesen, dass ich auch etwas VON ihr lesen wollte. Mit Spannung habe ich das Buch erwartet, aber... Es waren nicht einmal 40 Seiten.
Ja, sie schreibt sehr interessant und ihr Leben war sicherlich auch interessant. Aber in 40 Seiten kann man kein Leben quetschen. Nicht einmal die Kindheit.
