'… a highly informative volume. … well bound and clearly printed. … highly recommended for all libraries purchasing materials on North American literatures, culture and history.'Reference Reviews, "An impressive collection of essays! Porter and Roemer have nicely framed a conversation by scholars on what Native literature was, is, and will become in the 21st century. Readers will find diversity in this volume--and by that I mean essays on poetry, fiction, history, and theater, and culture. The survey by these authors will no doubt evoke new inquiries into this thing we Indians call Story."
