Native American or American Indian Literature has been an area of high productivity for centuries, with storytelling an integral part of tribe culture. The genre is consequently highly prolific and diverse. Going for an introduction to it seems a tall order then, but also an intriguing and insightful project for those interested in going beyond the Winnetou stereotype.
In this course we will seek to develop an understanding of the particular worldviews, different belief systems and mythologies of Native Americans, which are often challenging to the Western mind. Together with input on the historical background, this will help us situate the contemporary American Indian narratives we will discuss in class.
