Methods of Memory: On Native American Storytelling.
Ballenger, Bruce
College English, v59 n7 p789-800 Nov 1997
Notes that in Native American storytelling, memory is seen through an already existing story or recognized as a familiar category of experience that is widely shared. Suggests that the implications of the merging of tribal memory and personal memory are profound and that the reach of the storyteller's memory extends beyond his own lifetime, her own experience.
