This work argues that a tribal construct of gender relations, where the relationship between male and female roles is complementary rather than hierarchical, accounts for the existence of these empowered female characters in Native American literature. Focusing on the work of four of the twentieth century's most famous Native American authors, Zitkala-Sa, Leslie Marmon Silko, Louise Erdrich and Sherman Alexie, Hollrah suggests that it is important to evaluate Native American literary female characters in a cultural paradigm that is less Euro-American and more compatible to Native American culture.Native Americans (Routledge (Firm))American literatureIndian authorsHistory and criticismWomen and literatureUnited StatesIndian womenIntellectual lifeIndian women in literatureWomen in literatureIndian womenElectronic books.American literatureIndian authorsHistory and criticism.Women and literatureIndian womenIntellectual life.Indian women in literature.Women in literature.Indian women.813.009/352042Hollrah Patrice E.
