Abstract
This dissertation examines a new literary phenomenon---the Native American Postmodern---Mimetic novel. This genre is heralded by N. Scott Momaday's House Made of Dawn, and it is exemplified by his subsequent novel, The Ancient Child. It consists of the real-world difficulties of Native Americans overlaid with postmodern literary techniques to create a unique dialogical narrative.
