Both oral and written, Native literatures of the U.S. comprise a critical commentary on a range of ongoing issues facing the international community: the environment, sustainability, gender, capitalism, and colonialism. This course will discuss these issues from a Native perspective in fiction, poetry, non-fiction, and traditional oral narratives, ranging from before the European invasion of the Americas (1492) to the present, where  since the 1960s Native writers have been winning distinguished literary awards such as the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award.
