Talk:James Welch (writer)

message: Is that weird to anyone else? The article that was linked to for the information on his winning a knighthood in France does not elaborate any further, either. What sort of contributions to French culture did he make? How? I guess, was it in their understanding of American Indian culture? It only says that he "maintained a faithful following throughout Europe." Hm?

message: The first line currently reads: 
  James Welch (November 18, 1940 – August 4, 2003), who grew up within the Blackfeet and A'aninin cultures of his parents, was an award-winning Native American novelist and poet...
I propose that we change it to:
  James Welch (November 18, 1940 – August 4, 2003) was an award-winning Native American novelist and poet...
and add the information about his parents' cultures into the appropriate section(s) of the article in order to fit with the way all other bio articles read. I will make this change in a few days unless there's an actual reason to keep it this way that I may be missing. Thanks! -Hamsterlopithecus (talk) 14:47, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Paragraph 3, sentence 1
The sentence refers to the "Native American literacy renaissance. I suspect that "literacy" should be "literary."
EXISTING:
Welch's work was collected in anthologies of Native American literature. He is one of the early authors of what became called the Native American literacy renaissance.
