Literature

To become "acculturated" in the traditional sense has generally meant to educate one's self in the literature, art and music of the western tradition. Scholars who have held on to this notion have continually overlooked our contributions in literature, music, art, etc. This has resulted in an almost uniform disregard of our cultural traditions, our creativity and our unique perspective of the world.

The purpose of this page is to display the creative work produced by our people, and/or about our culture.
