Read the excerpt from "American Indian Civil Rights.” Over the years, American Indian activists have valiantly fought for reform

She lectured around the country in an effort to increase support for her cause. Physician and lecturer Charles Eastman, who was part of the Sioux tribe, also strove to improve the circumstances of American Indians in the early 1900s through public speaking and serving in organizations such as the Society of American Indians.
