A Syllabus on Native American Literature

English 201 Introduction to Narrative: Native American Literature - Laura Arnold - Reed

Course Description:
This course is designed to introduce students to narrative theory through an exploration of contemporary Native American literature. We will pay particular attention to the native cultures of the Pacific Northwest, as well as literature from the Plains, the Southwest, and the Midwest. For each region we will consider contemporary literary production (novels, short stories, autobiographies, or essays) in light of both the oral tradition and the artistic and cultural traditions of the tribes living in that region.

Readings:

God is Red by Vine Deloria
