From The Guardian:

“Scholars have recently come to view African American slavery as central to the making of America, but few have seen Native Americans in a similar light,” writes Ned Blackhawk, a historian at Yale University and member of the Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone.

Larissa FastHorse is the first Native American woman to bring a play to Broadway, but it was Zitkala Sa (the real-life Red Bird on whom the character of Red Dove is based) who brought the first show—The Sundance Opera–to be performed there, although it was her collaborator William Hanson who got the credit.

There’s so much that’s been forgotten about our own history. Women’s rights pioneer Matilda Joslyn Gage wrote admiringly about matriarchal forms of power, highlighting the strong role women played within the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy, and in 1893 was offered an honorary adoption by the Wolf Clan of the Mohawk Nation.
