To us, as nonnative individuals, we

“What was it? Who were they? Where are they now? Do they exist?” wonders the writer Sherman Alexie if the Native American reservation school system ever exposed him to the concept of creative writing or writers. In his essay, “The Joy of Reading: Superman and Me,” he describes how notions such as creative writing and reading high-level texts were considered “beyond Indians.” To combat such unwarranted profiling, he reminds young Native Americans of the importance of resisting negative stereotypes

An Indian Reservation is a legal territory managed by a certain Native American tribe given to them, with only partial sovereignty, by the United States government. Only 326 of the country’s 567 recognized tribes were granted land, but even the land they were granted is not sufficient enough to support a sustainable lifestyle.

”Yes, it’s only Reservation Blues but I like it:” On the Connection between Christian and Native Religions One of the most interesting aspects of the anthropological study of Catherine A. Lutz, entitled Unnatural Emotions, is that the author applies the same sort of intense self-examination to her own project as an anthropologist amongst the Ifaluk as she does to the Ifaluk themselves. Every individual at some point in his or her own life has been confronted with the surprise, after all, that someone

Today, as in the past, Indians on many reservations live in poverty as Jace Weaver explains in “Understanding Sherman Alexie”. This writer shows the cruel reality of life on the majority of the Indian reservations as follows: the unemployment rate can be up to 90%, the life expectancy among Indians can be about 47% in males and 46 % in females. Problems such as suicide, crime and abuse of drugs are latent problems inside and out of the reservations. These figures represent concerns that have
