Place-Based Rhetoric
A connection to lands is sacred to native peoples. Primarily, Sarah had to first navigate out of her original native culture (in the first act of Turner's liminality) by understanding how her location mattered to her rhetorical means. It was the focal point of her activism on reservation policy. She travelled with her people in the areas of Pyramid Lake? that you can see picture in the map and used Pyramid Lake as a community ground?(source biography) It was then taken away by colonialists in a couple of different ways. Settlers began to use the land for farms and homes. Eventually, Piaute people were moved to the reservation area at Malheur, in Oregon.
So Sarah's rhetorical fight was to get back land. To reclaim her place. Further, Eves posits that her location and specifically "position in disciplinary spaces" (source) was not only a goal for Winnemucca, but it was also a tool she recognized and used... Her ackground? informed her of a different cultural value of place, unlike any of her people, that made her thoughts? valuable
This analysis is careful not to generalize Sarah's people as "natives" for the sake of tribe individuality?(better defined term source)
