Historic Change: Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Zitkála-Šá

October 2024

We’re thrilled to co-host an official quarter release celebration for Yankton Sioux author, musician, and political activist Zitkála-Šá on October 24! Join us at the Salt Lake City Main Library for an inspiring program with speakers, a short film, and a performance from the Sun Dance Opera she co-composed while living in Utah. Find full event details and (free) registration here. All attendees will receive the new quarter!

In preparation for this historic event, our team has put together a digital toolkit with links to articles, videos, podcasts, and more about how Zitkála-Šá used writing, music, and political organizing to work on securing citizenship and voting for Native Americans. We’ve even included suggested classroom activities for students. Download it here!
