DURHAM, N.C. -- In the first years of the 20th century, stories by the
American Indian writer Zitkala-Sa appeared in the most prestigious
magazines of the day. She continued to be well-known -- even notorious --
as she shifted her focus from autobiographical stories to full-time
activism for the Indian cause.
But as the years passed, Zitkala-Sa faded from public attention. She was
rediscovered in the 1970s, and scholars have increasingly begun to
reconstruct her life and work. Now two scholars from Duke University, Cathy
Davidson and Ada Norris, have collected the writings of Zitkala-Sa
(pronounced Zit-KA-la Sha).
