  • Indigenous Lives, Visual Autobiographies

    Open AccessHertha D Sweet WongCHAPTERCambridge History of Native…2020

    As part of the ongoing project of decolonization and cultural critique, indigenous artists and writers take on the role of autobiographers, ethnographers, historians, activists, and visionaries, often in the form of visual autobiography. Their storytelling crosses fields of study (art practice, history, anthropology, and literature), media (text, photographs, drawings, paintings, and maps), as well as geographies and cultures. Collectively they b…

    IN ETHNOCR1TICISM, ARNOLD KRUPAT OFFERS A MULTIDISCIPLINARY AND cross-cultural consideration of some of the thorniest issues central to the study of Native American literatures.

  • Indian Lives: The Defining, the Telling

    Open AccessKenneth M Roemer, Hertha D Sweet Wong et al.ARTICLEAmerican Quarterly1994

    THOUGH THEY ARE CERTAINLY NOT INFALLIBLE INDICES TO CANON revision, the annual eight-hundred sessions of the MLA Convention do, at least, suggest trends. The distribution of sessions during the past few years and American Indian literature's recent elevation from discussion group to division status (a key bureaucratic and symbolic step) indicate a growing, though highly selective, interest in Native American literature. Most of the sessions and i…

  • The Lightning within: An Anthology of Contemporary American Indian Fiction

    Hertha D Sweet Wong, Hertha Dawn Wong et al.ARTICLEThe American Indian Quarterly1992

    American Indian stories have fascinated the world for all the right reasons: vigor, depth, subtlety, brightness. In the 1960s a brilliant renaissance began. Out of it came such gifted writers of fiction as N. Scott Momaday, James Welch, Leslie Marmon Silko, Gerald Vizenor, Simon Ortiz, Louise Erdrich, and Michael Dorris. In bringing them together, Lightning Within celebrates some of the best work being done today in the novel and short story. Thi…

    Native American autobiography did not begin in the nineteenth century when white ethnographers began to collect Indian life histories. Although aboriginal notions of self, life, and writing (auto-bio-grapheme) differed from those of Europeans, pre-contact natives did share their personal narratives. Instead of writing about their lives, though, individuals, often in collaboration with the tribe, shared their stories in oral, artistic, and dramati…
