<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>2020 Reprint of the 1921 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. <em>American Indian Stories</em> is a collection of childhood stories, allegorical fictions and essays written by Sioux writer and activist Zitkala-Sa. First published in 1921, the book details the hardships encountered by Zitkala-Sa and other Native Americans in the missionary and manual labor schools on the reservations. The autobiographical details contrast her early life on the Yankton Indian Reservation and her time as a student at White's Manual Labour Institute and Earlham College. The collection includes legends and stories from Sioux oral tradition, along with an essay titled <em>America's Indian Problem</em>, which advocates rights for Native Americans and calls for a greater understanding of Native American cultures. <em>American Indian Stories </em>offers a unique view into a society that is often overlooked though that society still persists to this day.</p>
