  • Native American Perspectives on Literature and History

    Peter G Beidler, Alan R VelieARTICLEAmerican Literature1996

    Native American Perspectives on Literature and History is a volume of essays by Indian and white scholars on issues such as ethnic identity, Indians in American mythology, how Indians write about Indians, and Indian crime and punishment. James Ruppert explores the bicultural nature of Indian writers and discusses strategies they employ in addressing several audiences at once: their tribe, other Indians, and other Americans.

  • 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…

  • Indians in Indian Fiction: The Shadow of the Trickster

    Alan R VelieARTICLEThe American Indian Quarterly1984Cited by: 2

    T HE RENAISSANCE in Indian writing in the past fifteen years has produced some fine fiction, but raised some disturbing questions. Scott Momaday's House Made of Dawn, and James Welch's Winter in the Blood and The Death of Jim Loney,' are impressive novels, but what is the picture they paint of Indians? At first glance the protagonists appear to be a sorry lot: they are alienated, not only from white society, but even from their own tribe. They ar…

    I. Blackfeet surrealism\nJames Welch is Blackfeet on his father's side (Blackfeet say Blackfeet, not Blackfoot), and Gros Ventre on his mother's. He was born in 1940 in Browning, a town of 2000 in northwest Montana which serves as the headquarters and trade center for the Blackfeet Reservation. He attended schools on the Blackfeet and Fort Belknap Reservations, ultimately graduating from high school in Minneapolis. He attended Minnesota Universit…

    Peter G Beidler, A Lavonne Brown Ruoff et al.ARTICLEThe American Indian Quarterly1978

  • "Winter in the Blood" as Comic Novel

    Alan R VelieARTICLEThe American Indian Quarterly1978

    If my students are any indication, many white American readers expect any novel written by an Indian, about an Indian protagonist who meets hard times, to be a bitter protest about white oppression of noble red men. Although House Made of Dawn and Winter in the Blood are by Indians, about Indians who are pretty well buffeted by life, they are not protest novels, though they are often read that way.1 In my opinion to read them as protest novels is…
