摘要

本文以三節：一、從表意到文本身份；二、符碼化敘事；三、印第安人的在場，試論相關「原住民」與「印第安人」之文本姿態和敘事表現，文例以英美語系作品為限。第一節包含相關「原住民文學」之學術研究及書寫難題。第二節檢視「印第安人」於文學中被符碼化的敘事策略，文例以一次大戰期間原住民作家Zitkala-Sa之論說文書寫及莎朗‧克里奇紐伯瑞金獎作品《印第安人的麂皮靴》為主。第三節探究經典兒童文學作品裡相關「印第安人」的敘事景況，並以當代原住民作家Tim Tingle和薛曼‧亞歷斯的作品做結。本文結語重申相關「原住民」和「印第安人」敘事－含與兒童文學結合－之省思，期供未來研究、創作及教學者持續關注的議題。

This essay attempts to examine a number of textual positionings and narrative phenomena concerning the Native and the Indian within the scope of Native American literature and children's literature. The first section discusses the signifying practices of Native American literature together with its academic concerns. The second section uses the rhetorical writings of Zitkala-Sa and Sharon Creech's children's novel Walk Two Moons as examples of narrative deployments about the Native and the Indian. The third section engages a selection of classical as well as contemporary children's literature that addresses the presence of the Native and the Indian. The essay concludes with noteworthy narrative dilemmas facing the united efforts of Native/Indian literature and children's literature.
