Extractions: G ertrude Simmons Bonnin faced, and to the extent it was humanly possible, overcame or sidestepped almost all the same problems in a much more severe form of that time that still face educated, intelligent Indian women today. Her life, efforts, and achievements are a fitting role model of intellectual and charismatic political leadership at a time when women (much less Indian women) were supposed to have no brains, and be happy, quiet mothers. S he has been described by one critic (Dexter Fischer) as "...always on the threshhold of two worlds, but never fully entering either." It seems to me more that from a position in the white world that she created in the teeth of a world as hostile to intelligent women leaders as to Indians, she created changes and improvements in the Indian world to which she was born. Though she was a mixed-blood or half-breed, she did not have identity problems as to which world was hers. G ertrude Simmons Bonnin (Zitkala Sha). was born to Ellen

Extractions: "The old legends of America belong quite as much to the blue-eyed little patriot as to the black-haired aborigine. And when they are grown tall like the wise grown-ups may they not lack interest in a further study of Indian folklore, a study which so strongly suggests our near kinship with the rest of humanity and points a steady finger toward the great brotherhood of mankind, and by which one is so forcibly impressed with the possible earnestness of life as seen through the teepee door! If it be true that much lies "in the eye of the beholder," then in the American aborigine as in any other race, sincerity of belief, though it were based upon mere optical illusion, demands a little respect."

Dreams And Thunder : Stories, Poems, And The Sun Dance Opera ZitkalaSa (Red Bird) (18761938), also known as Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, wasone of the best-known and most influential Native Americans of the twentieth http://unp.unl.edu/bookinfo/4043.html
Extractions: "Hafen (Univ. of Nevada, Las Vegas) has done a great service to the study of American Indian literature by collecting in one book several published and unpublished pieces. Especially important is the inclusion of The Sun Dance Opera , a controversial, little-known opera that was performed only once, when it was first written. Scholars of Zitkala-Sa in particular and of American Indian women's writing in general will find this a wonderful and enlightening collection. . . . No other collections of Zitkala-Sa's work offer such extensive biographic notes, bibliography, and commentary." Choice "[A] collection of writings by one of the most prominent Native American activists and writers of the 20th century. Editor P.Jane Hafen supplies much helpful autobiographical background." Library Journal Zitkala-Sa (Red Bird) (18761938), also known as Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, was one of the best-known and most influential Native Americans of the twentieth century. Born on the Yankton Sioux Reservation, she remained true to her indigenous heritage as a student at the Boston Conservatory and a teacher at the Carlisle Indian School, as an activist in turn attacking the Carlisle School, as an artist celebrating Native stories and myths, as a violin soloist performing at the Paris Exposition of 1900, and as an active member of the Society of American Indians in Washington, DC. All these currents of Zitkala-Sa's rich life come together in this book, which presents her previously unpublished stories, rare poems, and the libretto of

An avant-garde American writer whose Paris home became a salon for the leading artists and writers of the period between World Wars I and II, Gertrude Stein attended Radcliffe College, studying psychology with the philosopher William James. After further study at Johns Hopkins medical school, she went to Paris where she lived with her lifelong companion, Alice B. Toklas. Stein was among the first collectors of works by the Cubists and other experimental painters of the period, such as Pablo Picasso (who painted her portrait), Henri Matisse, and Georges Braque. These painters were introduced to expatriate American writers, such as Sherwood Anderson and Ernest Hemingway, and other visitors drawn by her literary reputation. Her first published book

Extractions: You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round..... The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours...... Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. The American Indian is of the soil, whether it be the region of the forests, plains, pueblos or mesas. He fits into the landscape, for the hand that fashioned the continent also fashioned the man for his surroundings. He once grew as naturally as the wild sunflowers, he belongs just as the buffalo belonged.

Extractions: Wenn wir jagen, so ist es nicht unser Pfeil, der den Elch tötet, wie stark auch unser Bogen sein mag; es ist die Natur, die ihn tötet. Big Thunder (Bedagi) (Ende 19.Jh.), Wabanaki Algonquin Sicher hast du bemerkt, dass alles, was ein Indianer tut, einem kreisförmigen Ablauf folgt, denn der Herrscher der Welt hat alles kreisförmig angelegt, und alles strebt danach, rund zu sein ... Der Himmel verläuft im Kreisbogen und ich habe gehört, dass auch die Erde rund wie ein Ball ist und ebenso die Sterne. Der Wind wirbelt im Kreis, wenn er zum Sturm wird. Auch die Vögel bauen runde Nester, denn sie folgen dem selben Glauben wie wir ... Sogar der Wechsel der Jahreszeiten folgt einem großen Kreis, der immer wieder von vorne beginnt. Das Leben der Menschen ist ein Kreislauf von Kindheit zu Kindheit, und so ist es mit allem, das vom lebendigen Geist erfüllt ist. Hört mich an, ihr Himmelsrichtungen der Welt ich gehöre zu euch! Gebt mir die Kraft, auf der weichen Erde zu wandeln, mit allem verbunden, was da ist! Gebt meinen Augen die Fähigkeit zu sehen und die Weisheit zu verstehen, sodass ich wie ihr bin. Nur mit eurer Kraft kann ich dem Wind trotzen. Black Elk (1863 - 1950), Medizinmann der Oglala Sioux
