Description: "In "I Remain Alive," Ruth J. Heflin explores the literary endeavors of five of the most prominent Native American writers from the turn of the century - Charles Eastman, Gertrude Bonnin, Luther Standing Bear, Nicholas Black Elk, and Ella Deloria - and challenges the traditional view of Native American literature.".

"Their stories helped shape the future of America; its identity; its developing appreciation of nature; its acceptance of alternative religions and medical practices; an awareness of the oral tradition; and a sense of multiculturalism. In this book, Heflin seeks to place these writers alongside American and English modernist work and within mainstream literature."--BOOK JACKET.
