The School Days of an Indian Girl focuses on narrator's changing sense of self after being placed in a boarding school.
What is the story about?
The story was about a Indian girl who was no longer allowed to keep all of the little things that created her identity, the simple day-to-day habits that made her who she was up to that point.
It illustrated the despondency and isolation that Zitkala-Sa felt at the school as an outsider among white people and her urges of revenge represent the despair and anger of all Native Americans under white oppression in her time.
She was stripped of her native clothing and also forcibly given a haircut to get rid of her long hair.
She was also forced to learn how to dress, write and even eat as a white person. Due to this forceful assimilation of culture, Zitkala-Sa is left feeling lost in the world that she once thought was so simple.
She did not know English, and tribal languages were banned at the school. She would be forced to give up her Dakota culture for the culture of the Americans.
It should be noted that the story had been revised to contain the work based on the information given.
