Taking a cue from Dr. Philip Deloria (Dakota), this class will survey the “unexpected” long history of indigenous North American fiction, essay, poetry, and theory from the 18th Century to the present. From the gynocratic (Paula Gunn Allen—Laguna Pueblo) roots of Native women’s writing to the survivance (Gerald Vizenor—Anishinaabe) rhetoric deployed pan-tribally over centuries, we will look at the many ways Native writers show us that sometimes “the body needs a story more than food to survive” (Barry Lopez from CROW AND WEASEL). This course satisfies the multicultural distribution requirement and the early American literature requirement.
