A Listening Wind, a collection of translated original texts and
commentary edited by Marcia Haag, highlights the large array of
Indigenous linguistic and cultural groups of the U.S. Southeast. A
whole range of genres and selected texts represent language groups
of the Choctaw, Creek, Chickasaw, Yuchi, Cherokee, Koasati, Houma,
Catawba, and Atakapa. The traditional and modern Native literature
genres showcased in A Listening Wind include stories that speakers
perceive to be in the past (or "fixed"), genres that have developed
alongside these stories, and modern story types that have sometimes
supplanted traditional tales and are now enjoying trajectories of
their own. These texts have been selected to demonstrate particular
literary themes and the cultural perspectives that inform them.
Introductory essays illuminate how they fit into Native American
religious and philosophical systems. Overall this collection
discloses the sometimes hidden connections among genres as well as
their importance to language groups of the Southeast.
