Helen Hunt Jackson was an American poet, writer, and activist born in Amherst, Massachusetts, on October 15, 1830. She became a prominent advocate for Native American rights, using her platform to call attention to the mistreatment of Indigenous peoples by the United States government.

She was educated at the Ipswich Female Seminary and had a sister, Anne Fiske. Helen Hunt Jackson passed away on August 12, 1885, in San Francisco, California, at the age of 54, leaving behind a legacy of advocacy for the rights of Native Americans and contributions to American literature.
