Because students are required to write about Indigenous creatives and their work, I assign chapters from Gregory Younging's Elements of Indigenous Style: A Guide for Writing by and about Indigenous Peoples (2018). The context reports serve as an introduction to the upcoming film we will screen, and I require students to engage in light research for their preparation. Students are expected to integrate and synthesize reading assignments with the films just screened, and I pose questions for small and large group discussion.","PeriodicalId":53988,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Indian Literatures","volume":"90 1","pages":"112 - 134"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75244590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Which authors? Is it really a literature?” A few years earlier, at the turn of the 2000s, Maurizio Gatti, one of the first researchers to study Indigenous literatures in French, faced similar disbelief from an employee at the Quebec documentation center in Paris, but also from the majority of professors he approached to supervise his PhD, some of them even challenging the very existence of Indigenous literatures (Littérature 18). At that time, Indigenous books in French were both rare and largely ignored. Librarians and other book professionals viewed Indigenous texts as purely ethnological (Gatti, Littérature 17– 19). Unlike Indigenous literatures in English, which, back in 2009, were already well established in English Canada, Indigenous literatures in French in Quebec were then still absent from the literary field.
