VG: Artist Biography: Bonnin, Gertrude Simmons (ZITKALA-SA) Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, Zitkalaa (Red Bird), was an extraordinarily talented Susag, Dorothea M. Zitkala-Sa (Gertrude Simmons Bonnin); A Power(full) http://voices.cla.umn.edu/vg/Bios/entries/bonnin_gertrude_simmons_zitkalasa.html
Extractions: Jump to: Biography and Criticism Selected Bibliography Non-English Materials Related Links Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, Zitkala-a (Red Bird), was an extraordinarily talented and educated Native American woman who struggled and triumphed in a time when severe prejudice prevailed toward Native American culture and women. Her talents and contributions in the worlds of literature, music, and politics challenge long-standing beliefs that the white man's culture is good, and Native Americans are sinful savages. Bonnin aimed at creating understanding between the dominant white and Native American cultures. As a woman of mixed white and Native American ancestry, she embodied the need for the two cultures to live cooperatively within the same body of land. Her works criticized dogma, and her life as a Native American woman was dedicated against the evils of oppression. Bonnin was born in 1876, on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Her father was a white man named Felker, about who little is known. Her mother was Ellen Tate Iyohinwin (She Reaches for the Wind) Simmons, a full-blooded Sioux. Bonnin was Simmons' third child. At only eight years of age, Bonnin decided to leave her mother and the reservation to attend White's Manual Labor Institute in Wabash, Indiana. This was a school funded by the Quakers. After four years, she returned home but then enrolled, against her mother's wishes, at the Santee Normal Training School. She chose this school because it was close to her mother. In 1895, she decided to move on and accepted entrance to and scholarships from Earlham College in Indiana.

Extractions: Gertrude Bonnin (Zitkala-Sa) (Sioux) (1876-1938) Contributing Editor: Kristin Herzog Without a knowledge of Zitkala-Sa's life and the near impossibility for an American Indian woman of her time to publish independently, students will wonder where these stories fit in. It is important to point out the extreme difficulties of a writer trying to preserve a tribal heritage and yet to communicate to a white audience. Besides dealing with matters of biography, history, and style, I think approaching these early American Indian authors from the religious perspective (Native American spirituality versus enforced assimilation to Christian beliefs) is effective in helping students to sense the very basic dilemma of a writer, a problem of cultural and spiritual identity that goes deeper than mere issues of civil rights, important as they are. Students easily identify with the aspect of social criticism or rebellion, but may not find the style particularly attractive because they do not know the historical and biographical background and the tastes of the literary market at this time. Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues
Extractions: Army Spouse Raymond T. Bonnin and Miss Gertrude Simmons, both of Yankton Agency, were married at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Benedict in this city on Saturday afternoon, May 10, 1902. The Tribune is pleased to make a few comments upon this marriage from the fact that the bride is a full blooded Sioux whose Indian name is Zitkala-Sa, which means Red Bird. After receiving a common school education at Yankton Agenoy she was sent to Carlisle College, where she remained two years and where she developed great musical and literary talents to such an extent that she was sent to the Boston Conservatory of Music and was selected to accompany a musical troupe to the Paris exposition in 1900. The rare talent show both on the violin and piano brought forth many flattering comments from the leading maga zines and newspapers, both at home and abroad. Upon her return she made a tour of the prindple cities of the East, not only as an accomplished musician but as an author of esteemed merit. One of her productions entitled Indian Legends has commended itself to the reading public to the extent that the publishers are having a great demand for her works. She is also a contributor to some of the leading magazines at the present time. Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, Zitkala Sha (Red Bird), was an extraordinarily talented and educated Native American woman who struggled and triumphed in a time when severe prejudice prevailed toward Native American culture and women.

Extractions: Name: Gertrude Simmons Bonnin Variant Name: Zitkala-Sa, Red Bird Birth Date: February 22, 1876 Death Date: January 26, 1938 Place of Birth: Yankton Sioux Agency, South Dakota, United States Place of Death: Washington, DC, United States Nationality: American Ethnicity: Native American Gender: Female Occupations: Native American activist, writer, public speaker Gertrude Simmons Bonnin Main Biography Native American activist and writer of the Sioux tribe Gertrude Simmons Bonnin (1876-1938) was prominent in the Pan-Indian movement of the 1920s and 1930s. She devoted her life to lobbying for the rights of Native Americans. One of the most outspoken voices raised on behalf of Native Americans during the early twentieth century was that of Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, a granddaughter of the famous Sioux chief Sitting Bull. As a writer, she produced a number of essays and short stories that established her as a significant figure in Native American literature. Her enduring legacy, however, is that of a reformer and activist devoted to improving the lives of Native Americans both on and off the reservation. Calling upon her skills as an orator, Bonnin made numerous appearances before government officials in Washington and ordinary citizens throughout the nation to draw attention to the plight of Native Americans trapped in poverty and despair.
Zitkala Sa And The Carlisle Indian School Raymond T. Bonnin and Miss Gertrude Simmons, both of Yankton Agency, were marriedat the home of Mr. and Mrs. EH Benedict in this city on Saturday afternoon http://home.epix.net/~landis/zitkalasa.html
Extractions: On Monday, at the opening exercises of school, Miss Senseny, Vocal Instructress, sang in most excellent voice and with pleasing effect Lynes' "He was a Prince," and Belmont Smight's "Creole Love Song." On Tuesday, Miss Simmons talked upon "The Achievements of the White and Red Races Compared." This from a young Indian maiden was a most thrilling and earnest appeal to the youth of her race to show to the world by their earnestness of purpose that the history of the Indian has been wrongly written, and that their motives as a people have been misunderstood. From this on, the Indian will be judged by the growing generation, who should be industrious and worthy. Every student who heard her remarks should be quickened into a deeper intensity. On Wednesday, Miss Barclay talked on "Li Hung Chang's visit to the United States." This, also, was very interesting and instructive, entering into the details of his daily life.

Extractions: . . . with introduction by Barbara Landis. In 1995, I met Genevieve Bell at a museum exhibit gallery in Carlisle, PA. I was astonished to hear her explain that her computer housed the entire database of the Carlisle Indian School student files of the National Archives Record Group 75. She had all the names. We have, since our first meeting, shared those names. Among them - the Family names, the Christian names, the Indian names, the Married names and our own Terms of Endearment. For us, the name "Nellie" can be only one Nellie although there were dozens of Nellie's at the Carlisle School. The Nellie we know best is that girl who took a trip to the moon in 1890. It was that Nellie who came to Carlisle as a student, graduated in the second class (1890), went on to university, returned to Carlisle as teacher and then matron, and was one of the last people on campus when it closed in 1918. It was that Nellie who generously donated the school publications to the State Museum of Pennsylvania in order that a most complete collection of publications survives today. One passion Genevieve and I share is to get the names to the nations to whom they belong. That passion brings with it distractions, as with each name comes not one story but a web of stories connecting child to family and family to clan and clan to nation. So - we make promises to send names to nations - and - we get around to it . . . eventually. In the meantime, what follows are some of the distractions borne out of the research requests Genevieve and I have gotten as a consequence of this amazing medium that has brought so many Carlisle descendants to our email boxes.

Extractions: MY MOTHER A WIGWAM of weather-stained canvas stood at the base of some irregularly ascending hills. A footpath wound its way gently down the sloping land till it reached the broad river bottom; creeping through the long swamp grasses that bent over it on either side, it came out on the edge of the Missouri. Here, morning, noon, and evening, my mother came to draw water from the muddy stream for our household use. Always, when my mother started for the river, I stopped my play to run along with her. She was only of medium height. Often she was sad and silent, at which times her full arched lips were compressed into hard and bitter lines, and shadows fell under her black eyes. Then I clung to her hand and begged to know what made the tears fall. "Hush; my little daughter must never talk about my tears"; and smiling through them, she patted my head and said, "Now let me see how fast you can run today." Whereupon I tore away at my highest possible speed, with my long black hair blowing in the breeze.
