Our Democracy and the American Indian and Other Works is a compilation and academic review of Laura Cornelius Kellogg’s written work, most notably, Our Democracy and the American Indian: A Presentation of the Indian Situation as It Is Today. Miriam was born in 1880 to the Oneida Nation and became a leader for her people in the early 20th century--a rarity for a Native American woman, during a time when woman in general were not routinely recognized for their widespread leadership abilities. She became a voice for the Oneida people, and her voice continues to this day through her writings. This book includes not only the full text of her most famous work, but also her short stories, poems, essays, and speeches, as well as illustrations and an introduction by two Native American women writers and researchers.
