Sophia Alice Callahan (1 January 1868 – 7 January 1894) (Muscogee) was a novelist and teacher. Her novel, Wynema, A Child of the Forest (1891) is thought "to be the first novel written by a Native American woman." Shocked about the Massacre at Wounded Knee at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, which took place about six months before she published her book, Callahan added an account of this and the 1890 Ghost Dance of the Lakota to her book in the first fictional treatment of these subjects.
