Native American Literature
Although it was the first American literature to be created, Native American literature has been the last to be recognized -- and, to some extent, is still waiting for full recognition. Beginning with its first thousand years of oral literature and continuing to the present time with writers in all the genre of literature, Native American is an important element in the literature of this country. Among contemporary authors are Duane Niatum, Paula, Gunn Allen, Louise Erdrich, and N. Scott Momaday (winner of the 1968 Pulitzer Prize for his The House Made of Dawn<./CITE>)
