Today’s Google Doodle commemorates Zitkala-Sa, a Yankton Dakota indigenous woman! Google gives her the title of ‘writer’ but she is so much more than that as she not only did work in writing and translating, but also in education, activism, and music (she’s credited as the first native woman to have written an opera). Much of her work detailed the struggles of native people as they tried to maintain their cultural identity while also dealing with the effects of assimilation, and her writing is some of the first that introduced native culture and storytelling to English speakers. -- source link
