About the Author: Sarah Winnemucca (1844?-1891), a granddaughter of Paiute Chief Truckee and daughter of Chief Winnemucca, was born in the Humboldt River-Pyramid Lake region at a time of great change for the Northern Paiute Nation.
Life Among the Piutes was originally published in 1883.
She died of tuberculosis in 1891.
She gave more than 400 speeches across the United States and Europe to gain support for the Paiutes.
Sarah Winnemucca dedicated her Life to improving the living and social conditions for her people.
She managed to record the Native American viewpoint of whites settling the West, told in a language that was not her own and by a woman during the time when even white women were not allowed to vote.
She also records historical events from a unique perspective.
Following the oral tradition of Native American people, she reaches out to readers with a deeply personal appeal for understanding.
Life Among the Piutes is Winnemucca\'s powerful legacy to both white and Paiute cultures.
Life Among the Piutes deals with Winnemucca\'s Life and the plight of the Paiute Indians.
She was a Paiute princess and a major figure in the history of Nevada; her tribe still resides primarily in the state.
