Authors & Readings LINKS


To the Bottom

Please excuse the fact that this page's intent got outa hand--in my best (and worst) monomaniacal manner. Excuse the fact that I've included several idiosyncratic contemporary figures, authors of poems I've admired in the past, but whose names few might deem worthy of inclusion in such a list. . . . Excuse my perhaps too great emphasis on Lakota authors?? . . . And excuse me while I go add a few more links! . . .

The authors are arranged chronologically, by date of birth; the lists of "characteristic works" are also (usually) chronological--though also by genre; finally, information on dates and tribal affiliations are often my "interpolations" from a variety of sources.  --TCG

P.S. (after extensive revision/additions in 2007): in an attempt at historical & encyclopedic inclusiveness, I have included several authors of—uh—questionable "authenticity"—cf. "[?]" after tribal affiliation claims—either because they've been read as "Native" by a lot of people or for a lot of years. (But, no, Forrest [Asa] Carter [erstwhile Cherokee], Jamake Highwater [erstwhile Blackfoot/Cherokee], and Nasdijj [erstwhile Navajo] are NOT included!)

Also, check out my new page (as of May, 2006): Great "INDIAN" Moments in Pop Culture

* All LINKS checked/updated, 6/08 (and page appearance made a little more user-friendly) . . . Instead of just deleting dead links, I've marked them as "defunct," because some of these (often excellent) resources are revived later under different URL's: this method reminds me to do a search for them at a later date. . . . And, in reaction to the many dead links, I've added more of my own TCG "resources" (poems, lesson plans, etc.—designated with a icon) that I know won't "go away." . . . I've also added some older Native writers I'd neglected, and some new up-and-comers achieving some fame in this decade (er, century).
