Borders Be Damned!

Abstract

Abstract This article provides a summary of Canadian First Nations writing and publishing within the context of Native American literature, with references to the entire area of Western Hemisphere Native writing. Admittedly, some readers and scholars will notice the omission of certain writers and their works, but it is maintained that this is somewhat the essence of the article: Native writing in the Western Hemisphere is still in the process of being identified, read, and recognized as such. Thus this article underpins the notion that the work of recognizing and categorizing such work is a continuing, necessary, and wonderful endeavor.
