Red Bird Sings tells the story of Native American author, musician and
activist Zitkala-Ša (also known as Gertrude Simmons Bonnin) through first-person
narration drawn from her writings for the Atlantic Monthly. Beginning with
her voluntary trip to enroll at a Quaker boarding school in 1884, and following her
as she
discovers her love for language and music, Red Bird Sings provides the
compelling story of how Zitkala-Ša was able to use her many talents to speak out
against the plight of her people.
Although much of Zitkala-Ša's life was devoted to social advocacy through
writing and public speaking, music continued to play an integral part in her life,
and she is credited with being the first Native American violinist to perform for a
U.S. president, and the first to write an opera and have it staged.Book, 32
pages.
