An anthology of Canadian native literature in English (2nd ed)

The second edition of this wide-ranging survey of writing in English by Canadian Native people brings together in one volume some of the best work from a literature that has formed a solid part of Canadian culture.

Beginning with traditional songs of the Inuit and traditional orature of the Southern First nations, the anthology goes on to include prose passages from such early figures as Joseph Brant-Sero, works by well-known writers such as George Copway and Pauline Johnson, and a broad selection of short stories, plays, poems and essays by twentieth century Canadian native writers.

Fourteen new writers are featured in this edition, including Beth Cuthand, Richard Wagameese, Kateri Damm, and Kevin Paul.
