    James Welch's introduction to our
    third catalog of Native American Literature
    James Welch A poet and novelist of Blackfoot-Gros Ventre heritage, Welch was one of the most important and accomplished Native American writers of the post-1968 generation. His first three books were published in the Harper and Row Native American Publishing Program and his third novel, Fools Crow , won the Los Angeles Times Award for Fiction for 1986. His book, Killing Custer , was a nonfiction treatment of the Battle of the Little Bighorn as viewed from the Indian perspective. My first poetry class from Hugo was a graduate-level seminar. Most of the other dozen students were older, some were married, some had had careers, others were at loose ends. I was one of the latter. After an undistinguished career as an undergraduate, I was accepted into graduate school (on probation) simply because I was a warm body and the fledgling program needed bodies to fill chairs. It didn't take me long to realize that I was in way over my head. I discovered I didn't know how to write the kinds of poems my classmates wrote. Up to then, my poems had rhymed and were filled with majestic mountains and wheeling gulls. I didn't know the poets they referred to. When Hugo, to provide an example, asked me to look up a poem by Yeats, I wrote "Look up Yates" in my notebook.

Defending Walt Whitman More to Come Links Literary and Cultural Welcome to The Red Road. This site is designed to be an introduction into Native American authored literature. There are many intricacies embedded in the works of native authors, and most of these works emphasize the importance of Native American culture, community, identity, and a personal relationship with a particular landscape. These relationships ensure personal survival, survival of Native American people as a whole, and the survival of the earth. This recurring value in Native American authored literature is very important because it presents to the reader the idea that the life of the land and human life at their best are inseparable. Historical events (not too distant) have directly influenced Native American society as a whole, and these influences have shaped native writers' works, particularly in post-1968 native literature. A brief synopsis of some of these influences follows: Nearly 400 years after Columbus opened the New World to European settlement, the military conquest of Native Americans was completed when Custer's old command, the seventh Calvary division, massacred Big Foot's surrendering band of Lakotahs at Wounded Knee. That slaughter forever ended Native American armed resistance in the United States and all surviving "hostiles" were located upon their respective reservations. Most observers predicted that Native Americans would soon vanish from the face of the earth, or completely assimilate into the white population of the United States.

    A Talk Concerning First Beginnings:
    Teaching Native American Oral Literature
    by Andrew Wiget
    New Mexico State University

    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.

    16. Native American Oral Literatures

    Native American Oral Literatures
    Contributing Editor: Andrew Wiget
    Classroom Issues
    Teachers face a number of difficulties in bringing before their students something as unfamiliar as Native American oral literatures. The problems will vary, of course, from situation to situation. Jeanne Holland's article in the Bibliography on page 13 outlines some of the difficulties she faced in using the first edition of this anthology, some of which we have tried to remedy in this second edition, others of which I addressed in a recent issue of The Heath Anthology of American Literature Newsletter (see Bibliography). Native American Literature and Ruoff's American Indian Literatures constitute a very valuable core of essential reference works. Instructors should also consult the Smithsonian's new, multivolume Handbook of North American Indians , for its many articles on the history and culture of specific tribes and its extensive bibliographies, and Murray (1990) for a thorough discussion of how the dynamics of the translation/transcription situation shape the text we read. culture . 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 time is available, I would highly recommend that the class view "Winds of Change," a PBS documentary that dramatizes the adaptability of contemporary Indian cultures, and goes a long way toward restoring the visible presence of Indian diversity.
