Abstract

The article examines the initial criticism by teacher and revolutionary leader Zitkala-ša on India's education policy and how it evolves into a commitment of lobbying and advocacy for education as a survival tool for Indigenous people within white dominant society. Topics discussed include her fictional and non-fiction essays, criticism of her by scholars, her transformation from a teacher to a revolutionary leader and criticism in her autobiographical writings of boarding schools.
