Series Editor’s Foreword
This book by Joan Beam and Barbara Branstad is a supplement to their
compilation published in 1996 by Scarecrow Press as No. 18 in the Native
American Bibliography Series. The Supplement follows the same format
as the original edition, containing the same useful indices, though with the
addition of a new section of Authors’ Choice to provide guidance to read-
ers to help them choose the best and most significant recent novels. The
novels included in the Supplement are those which, as the authors stated in
the original edition, have as a central them “either Native American char-
acters, events in Native American history, or a depiction of Native Ameri-
can social life and culture, whether historic or contemporary.
As in their first book, “this work is suitable for educators of all levels
from junior high through graduate school. It will be useful to librarians and
will inform the general reader about fiction that exists relating to individ-
ual tribes, particularly Native American authors of long fiction from these
tribes. Another good feature is the annotations to each entry, which are not
only critical but include citations to reviews of these novels found in stan-
dard journals.” This book is a valuable sort of compilation that ought to be
updated every decade or so.

Introduction
Today when someone in the United States hears the term Indian or Ameri-
can Indian or Native American, what image arises unbidden in their imag-
ination? A well-dressed small business owner, a school teacher, accom-
plished artist, computer technician or a member of a university faculty? Or
perhaps is it the image of a Navaho rug weaver, a Sioux chief in full head-
dress, a chanting medicine man over a smoky fire, a rodeo cowboy, or a
quiet Hopi woman selling turquoise jewelry on a blanket? More likely the
immediate mental image is of people in a time, culture and dress of the past,
rather than to a current member of society. Should the immediate image of
the Indian be contemporary, even here stereotypes abound. Is the contem-
porary image of a poverty-stricken reservation dweller, or of a wealthy
casino owner, or of a New Age shaman in braids and beads? Do contem-
porary images always immediately include farmers and authors, lawyers
and teachers? How have our images of Native Americans been formed over
time by books, movies, newspapers and other forms of media? How have
U.S. history, politics, literature and media shaped our image of a people
who have had their cultural, social, economic and political fate controlled
by the federal government centuries longer than any other ethnic group in
the United States? Is it unreasonable to assume that the immediate mental
image of American Indians might not be a positive one, when the wealthi-
est nation on the earth also is the home of one of the poorest of the world’s
ethnic peoples? When reservations are occupied by so many living far be-
low the poverty level and unemployment is the norm? The indigenous peo-
ples once “owned” this nation before the amval of any Europeans or Asians
and yet the Indians’ concept of shared governance and ownership ulti-
mately contributed to the loss of their traditional lands. The loss of land
