Includes bibliographical references and index.
Growing up a slave in the Native South -- Coming of age in the early Mormon Church -- Building a frontier following as Indian prophets -- Becoming stage performers in the East -- Performing Indianness in music, medicine, and marriage -- Practicing obstetrics as an Indian doctress.
