This course will introduce students to the literature of the Navajo and Pueblo Indians in its historical and cultural contexts. We will read a range of texts from the Navajo and Pueblo autobiographies of the late 19th and early 20th centuries to contemporary fiction and poetry by such Pueblo and Navajo writers as Leslie Marmon Silko, Luci Tapahonso, Simon Ortiz, and Irvin Morris.
