Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve
(b. 1933)

Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve was born on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation in South Dakota. She is a writer and teacher and devotes herself to telling about Native American life as she herself has experienced it. She also works "to interpret history from the viewpoint of the American Indian," whom she feels has been misrepresented by historians who are not themselves Native Americans. She is determined to create stories for children that portray Native Americans and their history more accurately, informatively, and accessibly than had much of the existing literature. In 1971, the Interracial Council for Minority Books for Children honored Sneve for her novel, Jimmy Yellow Hawk.
