Written toward the end of a lifetime of advocacy on behalf of Native Americans, \u003ci\u003eLife Among the Paiutes\u003c\/i\u003e is a hybrid work of history and memoir by Sarah Winnemucca, who witnessed firsthand the dangers of unchecked occupation by US government and military forces. Intended as a rallying cry to white Americans, \u003ci\u003eLife Among the Paiutes\u003c\/i\u003e is considered the first autobiographical work written by a woman of Native American heritage. Oh my dear good Christian people, how long are you going to stand by and see us suffer at your hands?\" First and foremost, Winnemucca's groundbreaking text is intended for an Anglo-American audience, whose political status the author hopes to use as a means of bringing her message to the halls of Congress. In the memoir section, Winnemucca describes her upbringing among the Northern Paiute in Nevada, whose lives were irrevocably disrupted by incursions from white settlers and military raids. After the murder of her mother and several members of her family by the US Cavalry, Winnemucca dedicated herself to social work and activism, using her knowledge of the English language to reach a larger audience. Weaving her own story into the story of her people, Winnemucca makes a compelling case for the reparation of land and sovereignty to the Northern Paiutes, who had been devastated and dispersed for decades after making contact with American settlers. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Sarah Winnemucca's \u003ci\u003eLife Among the Paiutes\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic work of Native American literature reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Oh my dear good Christian people, how long are you going to stand by and see us suffer at your hands?\" In this powerful memoir, Northern Paiute writer and civil rights activist Sarah Winnemucca asks her Anglo-American audience to listen to her story and the story of her people. \u003ci\u003eLife Among the Paiutes\u003c\/i\u003e is a work of nonfiction by Sarah Winnemucca.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 198\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 4.9 x 7.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 23, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978561945901,"sku":"9781513283401","price":13.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/eFVCc1NTRmFrTkNucHdhem9hV1FJUT09.webp?v=1775805826","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/life-among-the-paiutes-their-wrongs-and-claims-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
