“Sarah (Winnemucca) is best known for her 1883 autobiography, Life among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Theirs Claims, the first memoir writen and published by a Native American woman. Her story begins; 'I was born somewhere near 1844, but am not sure of the precise time. I was a very small child when the first white people came to our country. They came like a lion, yes, like a roaring lion, and have continued to do so ever since, and I have never forgotten their first coming.” Native AmericanColonizationRoaring LionPaiute NationSarah Winnemucca Book:Princesses Behaving Badly: Real Stories from History—Without the Fairy-Tale Endings Source: Princesses Behaving Badly: Real Stories from History—Without the Fairy-Tale Endings
