What happened after Zitkala–Sa was tied to the chair?
Or
How did Zitkala-Sa feel after her long hair had been (was) cut?
Zitkala Sa was forcibly dragged out under the bed. She was brought downstairs and was tied in a chair. She cried a lot and went on shaking her head. She felt the blades of scissors against her head. She heard them cut off one of her thick braids. She lost her spirit and stopped struggling. She moaned for her mother. Nobody came to console her. She felt herself as one of many little animals driven by a herder. She felt much indignation in life.
