American Indian Stories and Old Indian Legends by Zitkalasa
This accessible and affordable volume combines two essential collections by Sioux author Zitkala-Sa. Old Indian Legends features tales from the oral tradition, and American Indian Stories assembles short stories and autobiographical and political essays offering poignant reflections on the author's sense of being stranded between the white and Native American worlds.
Zitkala-Sa (1876–1938), whose name means Red Bird, was a Sioux writer, editor, teacher, musician, and activist. Her versions of traditional tales introduced many white readers to an essential aspect of Native American culture, and she was a founder and president of the National Council of American Indians.
