Two essential collections by a noted Sioux author: American Indian Stories assembles short stories as well as autobiographical and political essays, and Old Indian Legends features tales from the oral tradition.

"American Indian Stories is a semi-autobiographical work of essays, legends, and retellings of Sioux tales from their oral traditions. Combining personal experience with traditional storytelling, Zitkála-Šá uses this collection to reflect on what it means to be Native in America as both a person of the culture and as a woman in the culture" -- Back cover.
