Helen Maria Hunt Jackson (October 15, 1830 – August 12, 1885) was a prominent American poet, writer, and activist. Born Helen Fiske in Amherst, Massachusetts, to academic parents, her early life was marked by tragedy with the loss of her mother, father, and first husband. She found solace in writing, gradually earning recognition as a respected poet and author. Her literary legacy, however, is most profoundly associated with her fervent advocacy for Native American rights, a cause she championed after her friend's lament about the plight of the Native Americans moved her deeply. Jackson's empathetic nature and sharp intellect found expression in her prose as well as her activism. Her book 'Glimpses of Three Coasts' (1886) offers insightful observations from her travels, showcasing her descriptive prowess and engagement with nature and culture. However, her most enduring work, 'Ramona' (1884), synthesizes her literary talents with her political fervor, highlighting the mistreatment of Native Americans and influencing social attitudes and policies of her time. Jackson's commitment to social justice and her refined literary style continue to resonate through her numerous essays, poems, novels, and reports that poignantly critique contemporary social issues. Her dedication earned her the unofficial title of 'poet of the American Indian' and a lasting place in the pantheon of American authors committed to social change.
