the home, Winnemucca made her story the story of white rape and pillage and made her hero the Indian woman. She made the domestic space Indian space and put Indian women in constant danger from white men.

The white men who could be trusted were soldiers, whom Winnemucca made friends of the Indians, and men who married Indian women and entered Indian domestic circles.
