American Indian StoriesEssay Preview: American Indian StoriesReport this essayIn her book American Indian Stories, Zitkala-Sas central role as both an activist and writer surfaces, which uniquely combines autobiography and fiction and represents an attempt to merge cultural critique with aesthetic form, especially surrounding such fundamental matters as religion. In the tradition of sentimental, autobiographical fiction, this work addresses keen issues for American Indians dilemmas with assimilation. In Parts IV and V of “School Days,” for example, she vividly describes a little girls nightmares of paleface devils and delineates her bitterness when her classmate died with an open Bible on her bed. In this groundbreaking scene, she inverts the allegation of Indian religion as superstition by labeling Christianity.
