Representation of the Schooling of Native Children

Francis La Flesche’s The Middle Five and Zitkala-Sa’s American Indian Stories both offer a representation of the schooling of Native children by White educators. Both are fictionalized narratives based on the authors’ own childhood memories. However, these representations also differ in important aspects, such as tone, narrative, and the level of critique they offer of American-style education. What are the most important differences between these books in terms of how they represent American Indian education? And how do you account for those differences?

Quotes used must be relevant to how each of the texts/authors represent schooling.
