In recent decades, Native American literature has experienced a
resurgence in prominence and popularity. Beginning with the 1969
publication of N. Scott Momaday's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel House
Made of Dawn, and continuing with the work of Paula Gunn Allen, Linda
Hogan, Louise Erdrich, and Craig Lesley, American Indian writers have
become an increasingly visible part of the literary landscape. In this
collection of thirty varied and powerful short stories, almost all being
published here for the first time, emerging talents carry on the
tradition of their storytelling ancestors.
