Many of these narratives are as-told-to autobiographies, and those who labored to set them down in writing are nearly as diverse as their subjects. Black Elk had a poet for his amanuensis; Maxidiwiac, a Hidatsa farmer who worked her fields with a bone-blade hoe, had an anthropologist. Two Leggings, the man who led the last Crow war party, speaks to us through a merchant from Bismarck, North Dakota. White Horse Eagle, an aged Osage, told his story to a Nazi historian.By discussing these remarkable narratives from a historical perspective, H. David Brumble III reveals how the various editors assumptions and methods influenced the autobiographies as well as the autobiographers. Brumble also-and perhaps most importantly-describes the various oral autobiographical traditions of the Indians themselves, including those of N. Scott Momaday and Leslie Marmon Silko. American Indian Autobiography includes an extensive bibliography; this Bison Books edition features a new introduction by the author.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68079187886368,"sku":"NEW0803217498","price":32.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51vaSbRXOdL.jpg?v=1793497233","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/american-indian-autobiography-0803217498","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
