The story of Sarah Winnemucca was as full of adventure as well as of emotion. It is the story of the strength and pride of a group of people that were abused and removed from their home. For one of these people to demand to be treated as human was unusual in the United States of the 1800's, for a woman of a dispossesd race to stand up for her people was almost unheard of. It was the experiences she had as a young girl that made her the woman with a voice. The joys of her childhood family, the terrors of the invasion of the foreigners, the adventures of travel and the encouragement and education from the peoples of both worlds helped her develop into an amazing woman.
