Waggoner's deeply researched and carefully written account reminds us that if St. Cyr was best known as an early Native film star, she was also fiercely devoted to Indigenous causes and spent decades defending and promoting Native interests. This nuanced book recalls the enormous importance of one of the twentieth century's most important Native women. -Clyde Ellis, professor of history at Elon University and author of A Dancing People: Powwow Culture on the Southern Plains ? -- Clyde Ellis This life of the groundbreaking Winnebago actress, the first Native American film star, joins staggering research with a story full of ambition, courage, and true grit.

Her story of a talented Native actor, along with a vivid portrayal of the silent film era, make this a probing, satisfying, and utterly unique read. -Philip Burnham, author of Song of Dewey Beard: Last Survivor of the Little Bighorn -- Philip Burnham Author InformationLinda M.
