More topically, this book is about poetry's abiding importance among Native Americans from ancient times to the presentgoing back long before Europe's alphabetical technology transformed much of this continent's poetry and song from the unamplified, unrecorded product of the speaking or singing voice into something inscribed silently on paper. This volume seeks connections between an ancient tribal way of making and diffusing poetry and more up-todate, print-oriented or electronic ways.  \nI make no pretense at completing the task I begin here. Instead I consider this work a tentative first step in reconciling mainstream America with the deep poetic roots of an unwritten aboriginal past, perhaps even with the deeper European roots of its own ancient poetic traditions. Maybe the time has come to try placing Native American poetry in such a perspective. I merely wish to propose one possible way of doing so.  \nAs attention to the \"literature\" of Native Americans mounts, that term requires reexamination, as does its sister term \"poetry.\"Otherwise we stand to miss much that is essential to the verbal art of the people once carelessly called \"Indians,\" and to that of other indigenous peoples whom print cultures approach from an alien perspective. Also overlooked might be an alternative way of  \nappreciating our own poetry and the long traditions it too essentially bears, especially as electronic media begin to supplant ordinary print. Or, to put the matter more simply, by redefining the  \nPage viii  \nterm \"poetry,\" by considering the way Native Americans first produced it, and by examining techniques for reproducing it, we might recover a broadly maintained poetic awareness otherwise subdued by the merger of print with digital technology or restricted to an exclusionary academic setting.  \n\u003C>\u003C>\u003C>\u003C>\u003C>\u003C>\u003C>\u003C>\u003C>\u003C>\u003C>\u003C>  \nI COULD NEITHER have conceived of this book nor written it without help of all kinds.
