Subject:

Description:

Since the role of storytelling in Indian Country is a central component to community identity, written forms of communication are also significant- whether through creative writing or reporting. Students in this class will be expected to write poems, short stories, memoir (autobiographical writing), as well as feature stories and reports. While working on these various projects, students will also read some of the works of major Indian writers so as to familiarize themselves with the movements of the last century. In order to achieve the course's goals, students will become oriented with the literary landscape in Indian Country and all its various nuances and be encouraged to submit their works to both Indian-related literary journals and newspapers.
