      ab: The writer challenges the view of some writers and scholars who have recently complained that the academy, particularly American Indian Studies programs, puts too much focus on American Indian literature while overlooking scholarly works that highlight the pressing needs of American Indian communities in the areas of economic development, social justice, and sovereignty, among others. She argues that American Indian literature is underrepresented in the academy and that it has a greater worth than “just” its aesthetic value. She maintains that American Indian literature can and should provide a way for both Native and non-Native people to understand the very issues that need to be exposed to wider public view, discussed, and resolved if American Indians are to have equal opportunities for success in America.
