When Dream Bear SingsNative Literatures of the Southern Plains\nAuthor(s): Gus Palmer\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: University of Nebraska Press, United States\nImprint: University of Nebraska Press\nISBN-13: 9780803284005, 978-0803284005\nSynopsis\nAlthough the canon of nineteenth-century Native American writers represents rich literary expression, it derives generally from a New England perspective. Equally rich and rare poetry, songs, and storytelling were produced farther west by Indians residing on the Southern Plains. When Dream Bear Sings is a multidisciplinary, diversified, multicultural anthology that includes English translations accompanied by analytic and interpretive text outlines by leading scholars of eight major language groups of the Southern Plains: Iroquoian, Uto-Aztecan, Caddoan, Siouan, Algonquian, Kiowa-Tanoan, Athabaskan, and Tonkawa.\n\n These indigenous language families represent Indian nations and tribal groups across the Southern Plains of the United State.
