Helen Hunt Jackson was a writer and poet of America who, later on, became an activist. <em>She provided remedy to the injustices experienced by the Native Americans.</em> Due to this, she wrote the book <u>"A Century of Dishonor."</u> The book clearly depicted the sufferings of the Native Americans, including the mistreatment and the promises of the US government that were broken. It also spoke about the massacres done by the white to the Native Americans.
The book faced many criticisms, but in the end it actually worked to change the mindset of the government. Thus, the "Dawes Act" was born. The act provided the allotment of lands to the Indians on the different parts of the reservation areas. It helped protect their properties. It partly addressed the issues Jackson stated and helped the tribes in some ways.
For the next 71 days, Indian protesters at Wounded Knee would hold off the federal government at gunpoint. Media from around the world would give the siege day-by-day coverage. And Native Americans from across the nation would come to Wounded Knee to be part of what they hoped would be a new beginning.
