Saw the note on Google commemorating Zitkala-Sa today, anyone here know more to her story? Was it LDS missionaries who took her and cut her hair off?

I just read that article yesterday after Zitkala-Sa was featured on the Google doodle. She worked as a teacher at a Utah Amerindian Reservation school. I don't think she was ever captured by Mormon missionaries during their raiding parties.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.
