You killed them all and forcibly taken their lands, that's all you need to know you imperialist yankee piece of shit.

>>9824292
You're mistaken. I'm not a cumskin.

>>9824295
Then you're not an American and you should stop referring to yourself as such

Anyone?

Awesome. Thanks man. I meant books about Native Americans, not literature by them but I'll check some of these out.

I actually already have that Norton anthology in my garage somewhere.

For some reason all the moralizing about how ebil white people are and how noble, beautiful, and wise, natives are has not made me enthusiastic about native literature. Plus, they drove my Norse relatives out of Newfoundland which was a really xenophobic and insensitive thing to do. You literally had a higher chance of being struck by lightning than being killed in a Viking attack, but the Skraelings let the politics of fear divide them.

Uh, you're right, they don't have very much. There are about 6-7 million Indigenous people left in the US and Canada right now, their literature has been mostly oral throughout history, and the consolidation of indigenous literature as its own genre didn't happen until the late 1960s.

In other words, written literature had no cultural significance for indigenous people except as a part of the culture of colonial peoples who were killing and supressing them up until the mid-20th century, at which point their population was less than the population of New Jersey.

Alright, that's what I thought you meant but I figured I'd drop some names anyway

literally day one of Indigenous Lit Class™ we talked about the fact that that is not true of indigenous literature
I've never encountered what you're describing, it reminds me of Last of the Mohicans more than it does anything by a native author. Issue number one seems to be the problems within native communities, some of which are caused by colonialism, virtually never anything to do with white people as a generalized group

You're probably not Canadian. The ruling class really fetishes native culture here. When I graduated college part of the ceremony was translated into some native language, even though few if any of us could understand it. The valedictorian was chosen because he was part native, and his acceptance speech was largely about his being native, and we were scolded about the "continuing legacy of oppression."

t. someone who has never picked up native literature in his life

White colonists did some fucked up things to the Natives, but that doesn't make Natives saints. Natives didn't invent the Noble Savage meme, whites did. Listen to how Natives feel about themselves, not what white people have to say about them.

>>9825031
well, stop opressing them you snow nigger.

Didn't ask for an essay on why Indians are chronically inferior to white men
