Zitkála-Šá, a part of the Yankton Dakota Sioux tribe, was a native American who was sent to the boarding school at only 8 years old, where she was forced to get her hair cut and become an "American citizen." but her hair being shingled was feared in her culture because it meant that she was a cower to her enemies. luckily she survived the boarding school's harshness, saying, "I fear no man. sometimes I think I do not even fear God." and wrote stories about the boarding school she attended, becoming an author and dying at age 61.
