Her writing talent, developed during her education back east, was put to good use in recording from oral tradition the exploits of Iktomi the trickster, Eya the glutton, the Dragon Fly, and other magical and mysterious figures, human and animal, known to the Sioux. Until her death in 1938, Zitkala-Sa stood between two cultures as preserver and translator.

Southern Africa is a fantastic melting pot of human beings. This is its great fascination. Living here today are people whose culture is still in the late stone age, others who live in the iron age, and yet others belonging to the age of the atom. These are people from the east, from the west, from the north, people like the Bushmen who were here so far back that they always seem part of the sundrenched landscape. In the varied scenic setting of Southern Africa, all these people in widely different ways confronted nature, come to metaphysical terms with the wonders of the land around them, devised their own explanations, myths, legends and romances about the mystery of nature, their own beginnings, the parallel community of ghosts, demons, fairies, monsters and other creatures, good and bad, of the dream world.
