Six indigenous writing teachers will discuss their experiences teaching American Indian texts to creative writing students, including Native and non-Native students, in both academic and community settings. In this presentation, we will explore such issues as the challenges and values of an indigenous-based pedagogy; the vital questions of voice, history, community that Native writing can bring to the creative writing workshop; and the ways teachers new to Native American writing can begin to introduce it in their classes.
