"Aboriginal American Authors" by Daniel G. Brinton is a scholarly work that serves as a comprehensive bibliography written in the late 19th century. This publication investigates the literary contributions of Native American authors, particularly emphasizing those who wrote in their native languages and the significance of their narratives in the broader context of world literature and culture. The text not only seeks to reclaim these literary histories that have often been overlooked due to prevailing racial prejudices, but it also highlights the literary capabilities of Indigenous peoples. The opening of the book sets the stage by addressing common misconceptions about Aboriginal American literature and aims to educate its audience about the rich narrative traditions of Native American cultures. Brinton emphasizes the imaginative and linguistic skills evident in the storytelling practices of various tribes, referencing specific works such as the "Walum Olum" of the Delawares and the "Book of Rites" of the Iroquois. The author reflects on the historical neglect of Native literary contributions while arguing for their recognition and preservation, thus engaging both scholars and the general public with the hidden literary treasures of the Indigenous populations.
