Francis Parkman, set out to see what it was like in the western wilderness. Young, just out of Harvard college, he began his journey into Wyoming, joining a band of war-like Dakota Indians led by The Whirlwind, a famous chieftain, then conducting war against the tribe of Snake Indians who had ambushed and slain his son. It was during his stay with the Dakota tribe that Francis learned the importance of the buffalo to the Indian people, the shortcomings of the U.S. military presence in the west and the language of the Dakota tribe.

Zitkala-Sa was born on February 22, 1876 on the Yankton Indian Reservation in South Dakota. She was raised there by her mother, Ellen Simmons, whose Yankton Dakota name was Taté Iyohiwin (Every Wind or Reaches for the Wind). Her father was a European-American man named Felker, about whom little was known. Zitkala-Sa lived a traditional lifestyle until the age of eight, when she left her reservation to attend Whites Manual Labor Institute, a Quaker mission school in Wabash, Indiana. She went on to study for a time at Earlham College in Indiana and the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston.
