Zitkala-Sa, also known as Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, was born on the
Yankton Sioux reservation in 1876 and went on to become one of the
most influential American Indian writer/activists of the twentieth
century. "Help Indians Help Themselves": The Later Writings of
Gertrude Simmons Bonnin (Zitkala-Sa) is a critical collection of
primary documents written by Bonnin who was principally known for
the memoir of her boarding school experience, "Help Indians Help
Themselves" expands the published work of Zitkala-Sa, adding
insight to a life of writing and political activism on behalf of
American Indians in the early twentieth century. Edited by P. Jane
Hafen, "Help Indians Help Themselves" documents Bonnin's passion
for justice in Indian America and outlines the broad scope of her
life's work. In the American Indian Magazine, the publication of
the Society of American Indians, and through her work for the
National Council of American Indians, Bonnin developed her
emphasis, as Hafen writes, on "resistance, tribal nationalism, land
rights and call for civil rights." "Help Indians Help Themselves"
also brings to light Bonnin's letters, speeches, and congressional
testimony, which coincide with important developments of the
relationship between American Indians and the U.S. federal
government. Legislation such as the Citizenship Act of 1924, the
Meriam Report of 1928, and the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 is
reflected through the work collected in "Help Indians Help
Themselves". In these writings, in newsletters, and in voluminous
correspondence-most of which have never before been
published-Bonnin advocates tirelessly for "the Indian Cause.
