Sarah Winnemucca (1844 -1891) was a prominent female Native American activist and educator, and an influential figure in the United States’ nineteenth-century Indian policies. Winnemucca was notable for being the first Native American woman known to secure a copyright and to publish in the English language. Sarah was a person of two worlds. At the time of her birth her people had only very limited contact with Euro-Americans; however she spent much of her adult life in white society.
