    Extractions: Although Amerindian literature is gaining recognition in academia as true literature, there remains a fundamental problem that, as yet, needs to be reconciled. Until this is done, students will not receive the benefit of such study. This problem lies in the way in which Amerindian literature is classified. It is caused by the same fundamental and traditional problem that lays waste to most anthropological and historical positions on the Amerindians. In short, it is American amnesia. Contrary to the residual and popular image most conceive as accurate we have records that prove otherwise. In a recent survey I conducted the general consensus was that Amerindians are dark skinned, their women were subservient to men and many still hold that a mystery race or Western culture group built the mounds. This demonstrates my thesis well and can quickly be corrected. Westernization of Amerindian culture evidences itself in many ways. One of these becomes apparent in the method applied to the classification of Amerindian literature. While the standard categories used might work for Western Literature (and I have my doubts they always works there either), they will not work for all forms of Amerindian Literature. Thus, the basic question is what defines literature as Amerindian or otherwise? This logical question will likely remain a topic of no little debate for some time, or so it should.

Home Page Learning and Teaching Strategies in dealing with Native American Oral Literatures Andrew Wiget is a distinguished scholar in this field - note the bibliographical entries below. Here are some of his comments: Culture is a system of beliefs and values through which a group of people structure their experience of the world. By working with this definition of culture, which is very close to the way current criticism understands the impact of ideology upon literature, we can begin to pluralize our notion of the world and understand that other peoples can organize their experience in different ways, and dramatize their experience of the world through different symbolic forms. If culture is a system of beliefs and values by which people organize their experience of the world, then it follows that forms of expressive culture such as these (creation) myths should embody the basic beliefs and values of the people who create them. These beliefs and values can be roughly organized in three areas: (1) beliefs about the nature of the physical world; (2) beliefs about social order and appropriate behavior; and (3) beliefs about human nature and the problem of good and evil.

Scott Momaday published his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "House Made of Dawn," that people read the primary text of a Native American. During the 1970s, more works by Momaday appeared, along with other novels, poetry and short stories. Narrating their own lives, religions and cultures, Native Americans built a genre that now fills bookstores and is taught in classrooms from kindergarten through graduate school.
