NEW INTRODUCTION
Aboriginal American Authors, published by the Anthropologist Daniel G.
Brinton in 1883, is a work that is particularly appropriate for our own
times. The native American movement has stressed the need for history
written from the Indian point of view. Interest in native American
literature has become an important component in reinforcing a sense of
identity among American Indians today.
Brinton's work is a good summary of the better known traditional
writings of Indians from many regions of the Western hemisphere.
