Zitkala-Sa was a Dakota (Sioux) woman who made her home on Utah’s Uintah-Ouray Reservation.
Her name means “Red Bird,” and we will always remember her for helping Native Americans win their civil rights.
Zitkala-Sa composed the first-ever Native American opera, The Sun Dance, which is based on Sioux ritual
and melodies.
Zitkala-Sa co-founded the National Council of American Indians, which lobbied for Native people’s suffrage
and civil rights.
in addition to her opera, she was a well-known writer of Native American life and translator of Native legends -- this was one key way she advocated for Native Americans.
