Question

write the summary of the cutting of my long hair?

Answer 1

'The cutting of my long hair' by Ztkala Sa is an autobiographical account of a native American Indian girl. The description is of her first day in school on a bitterly cold day. The young girl is upset by the constant clash of noise around her: shuffling of feet, continuous murmurs of conversation. She was made t line up with other girls in short clinging dresses and shingled hair. The breakfast routine was equally unnerving where everybody followed a bell to sit, eat or pray. She felt herself under the constant gaze of 'paleface' women. One of the girls with her said that their hair would also be cut short and that really upset her. In her native place, either mourners or cowards had their hair shingled and she was not going to allow that without a fight. She hid under a bed in a room, but was finally discovered and subjected to the same plight as everybody else. She moaned for her mother as she was hurt and sad. But, nobody gave her any comfort.
