| Abstract | The reader should be considered a guide to Native American literature. It is designed as an introduction to the study of the Native literature of the Americas. Content begins with the poetic art of the ancients. Special space is given to the Walum Olum, an example of the epic quality of Native literary art. In contrast, but also as a natural sequence, a sampling of contemporary poetry is presented. The poets of today express the tragedy of the American Native in the modern world. Story telling, more than any other art form, was a part of Native life. Therefore, the old tales, told in the words of those with ancient memories, are given. The new tales express the fact that this unique faculty still exists. The writings of modern Indians run the scale from protest to descriptions of events and history and discussion of issues. A critique of the Native in literature is presented in "Image in the Literature". The article by Herman F. C. Ten Kate, although largely out-dated, is a fair example of critical analysis exercised by those who have considered the Native as he appears in literary works of American and European authors of the past. A current critique of Native literature ends this book. It too is a foretaste of things to come. (FF) |
