 Sarah Winnemucca
Paiute Activist & Spokesperson
Sarah Winnemucca (1844–1891) was one of the most influential and charismatic Native American women in American history. Born near the Humboldt River Sink in Nevada to a legendary family of Paiute leaders at a time when the Paiutes’ homeland and way of life were increasingly threatened by the influx of Anglo settlers, Sarah later wrote that the white men “came like a lion, yes, like a roaring lion, and have continued so ever since.”

Rosario Rivera Gutierrez (Zapotec), 14, from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec
in the southern portion of the state of Oaxaca, is dressed in her
finest to go to a Vela, a traditional fiesta in honor of a patron saint
or virgin. The Zapotec women of the Isthmus wear elaborately hand
embroidered skirts and huipiles (short tunics) with oversized flowers
that fill every inch of cloth. The women’s heavy gold necklaces and
earrings made of solid gold centenario coins are a show of wealth and
prestige. A faux braid wrapped with brightly colored ribbons crowns her
outfit.

 For many Native artisans, it was the memory of a grandmother’s deftly moving fingers, or a grandfather’s quiet words, that stirred up a powerful desire to learn and carry on an ancient skill perhaps in danger of being lost to the modern world. In some cases, the effort of a single artist—who taught someone else, who then taught someone else—has revived and preserved important ancient Native crafts.
