Crozier-Hogle, Lois and Wilson, Darryl. Surviving in Two Worlds: Contemporary Native American Voices. University of Texas Press: Norman, 1997

- This book is a compilation of interviews with 26 Native Americans of various tribes and backgrounds.  It is a united effort to “describe the survival of their cultures and the struggle to take their rightful place in the fabric of our nation  I feel it is highly credible as it comprised of interviews with real people, with a brief biography at the beginning of each interview.  Crozier-Hogle is an environmentalist, while Wilson is dedicated to “collecting and preserving the oral cultures and histories of Native peoples”
 

Momaday, N. Scott. House Made of Dawn. New York: Harper & Row, 1968

- This is a work of fiction weaving a story focused on identity and survival.  The main character, Abel, has returned home from war, and struggle to balance the world of his ancestry, the Native American world, and the world of the white man.  This work is most relevant to the topic and is also a Pulitzer-Prize winner.  As Momaday is Kiowa, I believe that it is a credible source, even though it is a work of fiction.

- This article discusses the modernism of House Made of Dawn.  It attempts to refute other arguments considering citing House Made of Dawn as a modernist work, and to " shatter the modernist display-case that represents cultural diversity without cultural substance."  The author, Larry Landrum, is a credible source, being a teacher at Michigan State University, and being published in Modern Fiction Studies.
