THE ART NEWS PAPER – The writer, musician and political activist Zitkála-Šá (Yankton Sioux)—who was born 22 February 1876—is honoured in today’s Google Doodle for her prolific creative and political achievements in an illustration created by the Chicago-based artist Chris Pappan (Kaw Nation, Osage and Cheyenne River Sioux). Zitkála-Šá, whose name means “Red Bird”, was born on the Yankton Indian Reservation in South Dakota to a Sioux mother and an estranged German-American father.
