Like N. Scott Momaday's poetic The Way to Rainy Mountain (1969), it is a "chant novel" structured on Native American healing rituals. Silko's novel The Almanac of the Dead (1991) offers a panorama of the Southwest, from ancient tribal migrations to present-day drug runners and corrupt real estate developers reaping profits by misusing the land."

    Extractions: Paper (0-8165-1633-2) $17.95s Who in a society can speak, and under what circumstances? These questions are at the heart of both Native American literature and feminist literary and cultural theory. Despite the recent explosion of publication in each of these fields, almost nothing has been written to date that explores the links between the two. With Feminist Readings of Native American Literature , Kathleen Donovan takes an important first step in examining how studies in these two fields inform and influence one another. Focusing on the works of N. Scott Momaday, Joy Harjo, Paula Gunn Allen, and others, Donovan analyzes the texts of these well-known writers, weaving a supporting web of feminist criticism throughout. With careful and gracefully offered insights, the book explores the reciprocally illuminating nature of culture and gender issues. The author demonstrates how Canadian women of mixed-blood ancestry achieve a voice through autobiographies and autobiographical novels. Using a framework of feminist reader response theory, she considers an underlying misogyny in the writings of N. Scott Momaday. And in examining commonalities between specific cultures, she discusses how two women of color, Paula Gunn Allen and Toni Morrison, explore representations of femaleness in their respective cultures. By synthesizing a broad spectrum of critical writing that overlaps women's voices and Native American literature, Donovan expands on the frame of dialogue within feminist literary and cultural theory. Drawing on the related fields of ethnography, ethnopoetics, ecofeminism, and post-colonialism

    Extractions: In addressing the issue of teaching Native American literature, I want to focus my attention on a single text, one that most teachers and students find very difficult: the Zuni Talk Concerning the First Beginning. [1, 26-40] This is a key text for a number of reasons: as a mythological text, it opens the entire question of worldview; as a transcription of an oral text, it raises all the aesthetic questions associated with oral performance and transcription; and as a foundational text, it establishes a framework for a subsequent exploration of another Zuni text, Sayatasha's Night Chant, [1, 2644-63] and for useful comparisons with foundational European texts of encounter. I would also like to call the reader's attention to a stimulating article by Jeanne Holland in a recent issue of the CEA Critic and respond to some of the issues she confronted in her attempts at teaching Native American literature from the Heath Anthology.

    Extractions: Tell students that you are going to devote a class period to reading the piece of Native American literature included below and analyzing it in a class discussion. Begin by explaining that the piece you will read is from the 19th century but that, unlike so much Native American literature that began orally and later was written down, this piece originated as a written document. Go on to say that the piece was published in a magazine for a white audience in 1879, two years after the writer had surrendered to the U.S. government; that the piece was written by the Nez Perce leader Chief Joseph, whose father had been converted to Christianity by a missionary; and that the son was educated in a mission school.

    Extractions: in order to participate in lessons. Course Description: Native American Literature is an 18-lesson course which is intended to be taught over one semester. Each lesson takes 5-6 hours to complete. During the course of the semester, students read and discuss literature which reflects, and was written by members of the Native American Nations (tribes) of North, Central and South America. The course is approached from a historical and Native American perspective. Students compare and contrast Native American Literature to literature of other cultures, and at the conclusion of the semester, will have a good understanding of the value and depth of Native American Literature. Students use as many online resources as necessary, as many of the literature pieces have never been anthologized. Prerequisites: This course is considered a 12th grade honors course and students should already have completed Language Arts (9th Grade), Language Arts (10th Grade), and American Literature (11th Grade) before taking this course. Students should also read and familiarize themselves with Student Learner Responsibilities to better understand the online learning environment and to make their learning experience more meaningful.

    Extractions: Centennial High School, Champaign The tradition of storytelling in Native American communities serves many purposes. In most instances, these stories are meaningless without understanding the story's significance and purpose. Stories have been used to entertain, to teach moral lessons, to pass on personal family stories, and to teach tribal beliefs. Many stories wereand still arethe personal property of families. The extension activities we will complete during our study of Fools Crow include the following: Students will read legends of the Blackfeet, the tribe of the novel, Fools Crow , by James Welch. There are many sites that list native stories; however, few relate any background information about the significance of the story. The following Web site makes that connection and is a great story resource. Once you get to the site you may want to make copies of some of the stories and their background, in order to analyze them and relate them to the novel.
