| 520 | _a"Big and Little Sisters: A Story of an Indian Mission School" by Theodora R. Jenness is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the lives of two young Sioux girls, Hannah Straight Tree and Cordelia Running Bird, as they navigate their experiences at an Indian mission school. Through their interactions and challenges, the narrative delves into themes of cultural identity, competition, and the complexities of childhood relationships within the framework of Western education imposed upon Indigenous children. The storyline unfolds primarily through the contrasting perspectives of the two girls, highlighting their individuality, aspirations, and the burdens of societal expectations. Hannah grapples with feelings of inadequacy and jealousy toward Cordelia's successes, particularly as it relates to their younger sisters, Susie and Dolly. Cordelia, on the other hand, strives to be generous despite her own struggles. As the plot progresses, Cordelia learns the value of selflessness and love, ultimately deciding to gift her prized possessions to support Dolly’s inclusion in school festivities. The culmination of their experiences reveals growth and reconciliation, emphasizing the impact of kindness and understanding in their community amidst underlying tensions rooted in cultural displacement.
