Zitkala Sa

Zitkala Sa's Impressions of an Indian Childhood is a vivid telling of her childhood life as an Indian child growing up in a "pale face" world. Reading this made me really excited about learning more about the Indian culture. In her story The Legends I found my self identifying with her. Sitting around the campfire telling stories is where some of my fondest childhood memories occurred. When she made the "coffee" I was back many years ago making mud pies with my sisters. This one line explained her childhood innocence.

The New motion picture movie Avatar reminds me of what "Pale Faces" did to the Indian people. We drove them out of their homes in order to gain more land. What we did was wrong yes I am glad that I live here in America but the way we acquired the land was wrong. Charles Dickens The Noble Savage is a racist article. He also sugessted that whites were the supeior race. He has it all wrong people are people and everyone needs to relaize that.
