My top five list of books by and about Native Americans.
- House Made of Dawn by N. Scott Momaday
- The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven by Sherman Alexie
- Ceremony by Leslie Marmon Silko
- American Indian Stories by Zitkala-Sa
- Pushing the Bear by Diane Glancy
Read any of these? No? Read all of them. If I ever taught a class about Native American literature, these would be on the syllabus, along with a handful of short stories, speeches, films, poetry, and legends. (The truth is that I want to teach a bit less than I want to design syllabi, alas.)
And, do you know any others that I missed?
