At a time when Native Americans were still viewed as "savage" by White America, opera singer Princess Tsianina Redfeather catapulted onto the world stage at the age of seventeen. Using her talent to dispel the myth of her people, Tsianina performed in major cities around the world garnering praise and admiration from both audience and critics. Brief mention of this gifted and beloved princess can be found within larger texts, but her story, her contributions, have been lost in those of the "white" men whose world she shared.
