Simon Ortiz - An Acoma Pueblo and one of the most respected and widely read Native American writers. Leslie Marmon Silko - One of the foremost writers of the Native Ameerican literary renaissance of the 1970s and many more Native American authors. The dual heritage of the Native American author, a heritage composed of western literary tradition and literary forms on the one hand and the content and purpose of the oral tradition on the other, has produced a body of literature that is strikingly original and complellingly relevant. In a world of questions, Native American literature offers answers, not easy solutions, but ones charged with power.
