In “The Sacred Hoop: A Contemporary Perspective,” American Indian literary
scholar Paula Gunn Allen argues, “Literature must, of necessity, express and
articulate the deepest perceptions, relationships, and attitudes of a culture, whether
it does so deliberately or accidentally” (80). At the same time, however, American
Indian literature “speaks crucially about the experience of colonization,” writer
Simon Ortiz explains, adding that literature constitutes a form of resistance (Ortiz
122). Review the course materials through Week 3 (lectures, readings, and films),
then write an essay that 1) identifies and discusses some of the deep perceptions,
relationships, and attitudes in the American Indian cultures and/or literatures and 2)
identifies and discusses examples (such as policies, historical experiences) of the
colonialism or oppression that American Indians are resisting through literature.
