"There is no great; there is no small; in the mind that causeth all." Zitkala-Sa
The audiobook is divided into two volumes. Volume One is based on the experiences of the author, and describes a young girl growing up in a changing environment. Volume Two consists of revealing stories about other members of her tribe.
Zitkala-Sa (Gertrude Bonnin) was a beautiful Dakota-Sioux Indian. She was a member of the Woman's National Foundation, League of American Pen-Women, and the Washington Salon. Through lectures and stories such as "Old Indian Legends" and "Americanize The First American," she tried to make the public aware of Dakota-Sioux Indians, their culture and their plight.
Right out of college with a degree in drama and a minor in voice performance, Nancy Lee worked as a disco DJ in Columbia, SC (after all, it was 1975). After briefly doing the "hustle," she landed her first radio job as an on-air personality. Nancy has been in radio, in almost every capacity, for 30 years. She has her own morning show on WDDV AM radio, and also does voice-over work for TV, radio, and corporations. She is now happily adding audiobooks to her repertoire.
