ENG 371 AMER INDIAN LIT, 1774-1936

This course covers writings published by native North Americans in the long nineteenth century. Students explore how native speech-traditions are reimagined in genres of public speech undertaken in a colonial-and hence cross-cultural and trans-national-context. Writers include Occom, Apess, Copway, Yellow Bird, Callahan, Eastman, Montezuma, and McNickle.
