Schweninger considers a range of genres (memoirs, novels, stories, essays) by Native writers. Contextualizing these works within the origins, evolution, and perpetuation of the "green" labels imposed on American Indians, he shows how writers often find themselves denying some land ethic stereotypes while seeming to embrace others.
