In this interactive lesson from Unladylike2020, students will learn about Zitkála-Šá and Susan La Flesche Picotte, who worked tirelessly to improve the lives of Native Americans but had different perspectives and opinions about assimilation policies of the time. By learning more about their lives and analyzing primary source documents written by both women, students will gain a deeper understanding of how assimilation policies impacted indigenous people in the past and continue to have consequences in the present.
