Native Anthologies: Poetry Collection

The book combines both an entertainment and educational medium. The poems capture the imagination by the vivid detail of the collapsing frontier. The heterogeneous 'Indian' tribes held on their ideals and the literary angle draws from the idioms common to Native Americans in the 19th century and their laconic style of delivery forever stays in memory. The use of the metaphor in the speech allows the natural eloquence to flow through the text and informs the reader of an era when colonialism had reached its zenith and resistance to an advancing and materialist civilization was nearing its end.

The educational strength is that it brings into focus an anthropological study that informs about the framework of the Native societies. The book is linguistically sound, has a clear expression and its scope on the research in humanities is considerable. This will contribute to the analysis of non-agrarian, hunter-gatherer and sedentary societies and the rationale for their existence. It conveys their attachment to land and presents it with authenticity which will assist in other research such as dependence on the orational stories as admissible evidence, geographical mapping and ecological protection.
