The Way to Confusion.
McLaughlin, Gary L.
English Journal, v86 n6 p70-75 Oct 1997
Describes the creation and teaching of a high school elective course on American Indian literature, and discusses how a workshop on Native American literature challenged the teacher's beliefs and practices. Concludes that it is important to address the limitations non-Native readers bring to this literature but that those limitations need not confine what students choose to read. (SR)
