Waheenee: An Indian Girl's Story is a memoir written by Waheenee, a young Native American girl who was born and raised in the late 19th century on the Great Plains. The book is a first-hand account of her life, and it provides readers with a unique perspective on the experiences of Native American children during this time period. Waheenee's story begins with her childhood on the prairie, where she lived with her family in a traditional Native American teepee. She describes her daily life, including her chores, her education, and her relationships with her family and community. She also discusses the challenges and hardships that her people faced, including the loss of their land and the impact of the white settlers who were encroaching on their territory. As Waheenee grows older, she becomes increasingly aware of the injustices that her people are facing. She witnesses the forced relocation of her tribe to a reservation, and she experiences the discrimination and prejudice that Native Americans faced in the wider society. Despite these challenges, Waheenee remains proud of her heritage and determined to preserve her culture and traditions. Overall, Waheenee: An Indian Girl's Story is a powerful and poignant memoir that provides readers with a glimpse into the life of a young Native American girl during a time of great change and upheaval. Through her words, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the experiences and struggles of Native American children and the resilience and strength of their communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
