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. 410 0$aNative Americans (Routledge (Firm)) 606 $aAmerican literature$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zUnited States 606 $aIndian women$xIntellectual life 606 $aIndian women in literature 606 $aWomen in literature 606 $aIndian women 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature 615 0$aIndian women$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aIndian women in literature. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 615 0$aIndian women. 676 $a813.009/352042 700 $aHollrah$b Patrice E.
