Introduction: diving into deep waters -- The oral impulse, the graphic impulse, and the critical impulse: reframing signification in American Indian literary studies -- N. Scott Momaday's The way to Rainy Mountain: vision, textuality, and history -- Trickster leads the way: a reading of Gerald Vizenor's Bearheart: the heirship chronicles -- Transforming "eventuality": the aesthetics of a tribal "word-collector" in Ray A. Young Bear's Black eagle child and Remnants of the first earth -- Interpreting our world: authority and the written word in Robert J. Conley's Real people series -- Epilogue: building ground in American Indian textual studies.

Weaving connections between indigenous modes of oral storytelling, visual depiction, and contemporary American Indian literature, Deep Waters demonstrates the continuing relationship between traditional and contemporary Native American systems of creative representation and signification. Christopher B. Teuton begins with a study of Mesoamerican writings, Dine sand paintings, and Haudenosaunee wampum belts. He proposes a theory of how and why indigenous oral and graphic means of recordingthought are interdependent, their functions and purposes determined by social, political, and cultural contexts. The center of this book examines four key works of contemporary American Indian literature by N. Scott Momaday, Gerald Vizenor, Ray A. Young Bear, and Robert J. Conley. Through a textually grounded exploration of what Teuton calls the oral impulse, the graphic impulse, and the criticalimpulse, we see how and why various types of contemporary Native literary production are interrelated and draw upon long-standing indigenous methods of creative representation. Teuton breaks down thedisabling binary of orality and literacy, offering readers a cogent, historically informed theory of indigenous textuality that allows for deeper readings of Native American cultural and literary expression.
