This course will introduce students to the rich variety of literary expression by Native Americans. Based on the assumption that Native American (or American Indian) literature must inform our discussion of just what American literature means, it will address questions common to other literature classes, yet asked with a different resonance. The course will bring to students’ attention in at least some specificity the tribal affiliations of the authors presented, and will introduce students to resources for learning more about Native American literature, culture, and history.
