Key Aspects in Sherman Alexie's Works with Special Reference to his Life

The seminar paper explores the evolution of American Indian literature, tracing its roots from oral traditions to written forms influenced by both Native and non-Native authors. By the late eighteenth century, oral stories began to be recorded by outsiders, while Native Americans started documenting their narratives in English. The paper highlights the significant shift in the twentieth century towards individual expression in literature, with a particular focus on Sherman Alexie as a key figure representing this transformation.
