ENG 245 — Survey of Native American Literature
This course will cover a range of Native American writings, from oral tribal stories and poems in translation, to autobiographical narratives and contemporary fiction and poetry. Students will be exposed to a range of writings representing diverse Native American communities and will study both oral narratives transformed to writing and texts originally presented in written form. The course will not focus on any one Native American community in depth, yet will allow this opportunity to students through paper assignments. The course will also demonstrate how an understanding of specific cultural and historical contexts informs each selected text.
