The short book (though my copy was 151 pages so I don’t know if the ten others were just the title page etc that gets count on Libby or something else) is a collection of memoir excerpts, short stories, an essay and poetry by Native American artist and activist Zitkala-Sa. The poetry from the time period of the late 19th and early 20th I Can be be very hot and cold to by mood but it did remind me of other old poetry I found of good quality if not my preferences, the short essay ends fairly curtly but perhaps it is only an excerpt. I think it would have been good for an editor to remind a modern reader or someone unfamiliar with the continent’s history this was before native Americans had American citizenship and why they wanted it etc.
I love the short stories (and I think the collection builds on the arrangement and prices chosen very well) my favorite were “The Soft-Hearted Sioux” and “the wide spread enigma concerning blue star women” they were complex and multilayered short stories I think did a lot emotions while discussing multiple issues of the time.
