From the Publisher
A landmark survey of American Indian literature in America, VOICE OF THE TURTLE brings together the works of seventeen authors--E. Pauline Johnson, Mourning Dove, Luther Standing Bear, Roger Black Elk, and a host of others--to give readers a historical overview of the richness, depth, and range of Native literature in the first part of this century. Allen shows us Native writing from its earliest days, drawing her selections from a wealth of genres: memoirs, oral histories, short stories, novels. With this volume and her other collection, SONG OF THE TURTLE, Allen is creating the canon of the future.
This volume covers works written from the turn of the century to the 1970's.
From the Inside Flap
Gunn Allen has been at the heart of a literary movement that has made Native American literature a part of the canon.... Voice of the Turtle is a collection of stories that will transform readers, offering an opportunity to understand the diverse literary traditions of American native peoples."
--Clifford Trafzer
