Woman Walking Ahead

This book sheds light on the largely overlooked life of Catherine Weldon, a Brooklyn artist who traveled to Dakota Territory in 1889 to support Native rights and her connection to Sitting Bull. It explores her efforts on behalf of the Standing Rock Sioux and her time living among them, challenging the historical distortions that have marginalized her story. Through her experiences, the author draws parallels between her world and our own, offering a fresh perspective on a forgotten advocate.
