Style

The Early American writings from the European explorers are primarily in the form of narratives and letters. These letters describe the explorers’ travels and discoveries, and serve as a report for the monarchs for whom they traveled. Because many writings were used to report progress to the monarchs the accounts may have romanticized the explorers’ experiences in the New World and served as propaganda for their work.

Artists

We will now see some of the artists from this literary movement.

Artists

Raymond Carlos Nakai

Composer

Raymond Carlos Nakai (born April 16, 1946) is a Native American flutist of Navajo/Ute heritage. He began his musical career as a freshman at Northern Arizona University studying brass instruments and playing in the NAU marching band. In his second year, he enlisted in the US Navy with the hope of eventually playing in the Armed Forces Band. He passed the highly competitive auditions for the Armed Forces School of Music and was 28th on the waiting list for admission.

Compositions

Frank Buffalo Hyde

Painter

Born in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1974, and raised on the Onondaga Reservation, Hyde juxtaposes 21st century pop culture images with symbols and themes from his Native American heritage. His vibrant, satirical, graphic paintings seek to dismantle stereotypes of Native American culture and replicate what he refers to as “the collective unconsciousness of the 21st century.”

Alexie’s first book was a volume of poetry, I Would Steal Horses (1992). Shortly after its publication he quit drinking. The same year, he produced The Business of Fancydancing, a book combining prose and poetry. A prolific writer, he published in 1993 two more books of poetry—First Indian on the Moonand Old Shirts & New Skins—and The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, a collection of interwoven stories that won the PEN/Hemingway Award for best first book of fiction.

The first Indian on the moon.

Summary. Alexie shares fragments of people, places, events and anecdotes of his

life, all under the influence of the "Year of the Indian". The book is divided into 4 sections, each one touching a specific theme, and in the form of a poem, they tell different anecdotes with different meanings to free interpretation about the life and culture of the Indians, and how modernity has affected them all.
