Abstract

Throughout the course of american history, the literature of the nation has served to reflect the social climate of the time in which it was written. Society's values in regards to both race and gender have thus been contextualized in history by american writers. In some cases, american literary works have served to reinforce existing social boundaries, while in many other works, writers have sought to blow those boundaries apart, calling dominant assumptions into question and thus re-shaping the situation of the subordinated in public discourse.The stories of Native american tribes preceded the formation of a colonized- american identity, but they nonetheless serve as a foundation upon which such an identity could be established. What was lost in translation, as well as how these stories were read reflects the clash of Native- and European-american ideologies.
