Editing Sarah Winnemucca (section)

==Teaching and interpreter==
In 1871, at the age of 27, Winnemucca began working in the Bureau of Indian Affairs at Fort McDermitt as an interpreter, and later was invited to interpret at the [[Malheur Reservation]] by [[Indian Agent]] [[Samuel B. Parrish]]. She found in observing Parrish that he worked well with the Paiute; he encouraged them in learning some new ways and helped them plant crops that could support the people, establishing a well-managed agricultural program. He had a school built at the reservation, and Winnemucca became an assistant teacher.{{sfn|Canfield|1988|pp=94–99}} She was also an interpreter for the US Army and a lecturer across the western United States. In the 1880s she lectured across the eastern United States and taught at Fort Vancouver and Peabody Institute in Lovelock, Nevada. <ref>Carpenter, Cari M. “Sarah Winnemucca Goes to Washington.” American Indian
