Description
These eighteen short stories by American Indians, written between 1881 and 1936, represent the rise of Indian short fiction--as opposed to traditional legends and tales--following confinement of all recognized tribes to reservations. Previously published only in small journals or American Indian newspapers (with one never published), these stories have been largely inaccessible to general readers, and even to most scholars specializing in Native American literature.Contents
