That the people might live : Native American literatures and Native American community / Jace Weaver.
Weaver focuses on studying Native American literature as a reflection and shaper of community values, especially for modern urban Native Americans. For cultures so gravitized by oral tradition, the written word has become the messenger of culture and religion.
