Helen Hunt Jackson (1830–1885) was an American author, poet, and activist best remembered for her advocacy on behalf of Native Americans. A prominent literary figure of the 19th century, she published poetry, travel writing, and fiction, frequently contributing to leading American magazines. Her landmark 1881 book, A Century of Dishonor, documented the mistreatment of Native American tribes by the United States government and called for reform of federal Indian policy. Her 1884 novel Ramona, which depicted the struggles of Native Americans in Southern California, became an enduring classic of American literature and helped bring national attention to their plight.
