  The subsequent entry makes the effort to position Sarah, as she is often referred to in scholarly reference, outside a singular rhetorical space, as the author originally existed doubly-conscious of her rhetorical space within and without of the “cage of alien victorian morality,” heavily influenced by her place. (Zanjani) (Eves)
  
  Place-based Rhetoric and Holistic Identity
  
  The focus begins with these understandings of Winnemucca in totally different rhetorical spaces, affecting her identity, and since print is an unrealistic mode to communicate in native culture, her writing comes represented equally with these concepts, as it was only a rhetorical instrument she could use to empower her people as a translator to white culture—to take her work out of the regular lens of the canon and instead as an artifact of her ability to translate between cultures.
  
  In order to guide the reading, each thumbnail here links to each page of the first two chapters of Winnemucca's autobiography "Life Among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Claims." Click on each for the media page and follow the annotations to understand Winnemucca's rhetorical positionality as a person visible outside her activism, enacted in her writing here.
  
  Please, click on the page numbers of each page to view them in full screen, as if you were able to see this copy. Or, continue on a path of general concepts that may illuminate different views/perspectives? of Winnemucca's work used here, positioned in a post-structuralist sense. You may not necessarily read through the full two chapters of this edition fully, and various necessarily included rhetorical notes on Winnemucca's position here may structure your path.
  
  The two chapters are chosen, also in a sense, as an introduction to the work as a whole. Please, don't take these words to represent Sarah's identity. She would likely much rather have her writing here reproduced for the communal representation of the Piute tribe and the political advancement of support for her brothers and sisters. (cite, native identity within tribe page)
   

  Sarah Winnemucca is positioned, in honor of her value there, generally at Pyramid Lake on the handy map tool.

  Now, you can continue exploring how Life Among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Claims exists within and is produced rhetorically by a contact zone, through the following pages, and represents the effort ?of a Native? To attend to the discursive rhetorical demands of the imperialist culture of the late 1800s in the American West to be politically effective with publishing a “tribalography.” As the communal structure of Native societies starkly differs in roles of power and communication from the Anglo-American and European vision of land holding/publication, this inclusion within the anthology outside of --print-- and --reprinting-- aims to decentralize the text as representative of native Paiutes or Native opportunity in the late 1800s and replace it within the reality of “survivance” (Vizenor) experienced in socio-historical context by the author. 
  
  The entry here hopes to put into practice the gender-fluid approach to feminist recovery (Rawson)There is the option to explore her work enacted at various times in differing gender performance (Sneider) between masculinity and femininity, depending on the cultural roles apparent. The excerpt selected “Chapter 1: The First Meeting of the Piutes and Whites and Chapter 2: Social and Domestic Moralities” does in reading reflect on the cross-cultural influence of the contact zone on communication discussed. As an approach of revisionist historiography (Ryan) The presentation of the mode of recovery and gender critique in a non-linear fashion opens up the sort of “open/both” rapport mentioned by Ryan. The text will ground itself in the consideration of “Sarah Winnemucca” as she chooses to self-identify in “Life Among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Claims,” at all times owing to the text's function as a “translator” (pp.281) (Sneider).
