Have we established yet whether there are many books of what I now want to term "belles lettres" written by Indian people in North America?

Because people may get accused of being political when bringing up the literature of Georgia, China, Iran, etc., but I also see here a willingness to highlight massacres when perpetrated by the American authorities or, in the case of the British Empire, the Brits.

Are there any more novels, books of poetry, essays and so on, written by American Indians, or their descendents, that are not in effect merely political tales? I mean books such as "Spider Woman's Granddaughters" as described here.

I don't mean non-Indians writing about Indians, but what the indigenous American Indians have written themselves.

The same goes, mutatis mutandis for the Roma. Nor is the section here for African literature thriving. It appears to be one of the least visited sections on the World Literature Forum.
