The onslaught of colonialism led to damaging consequences for the Natives in North America. The racist attitudinal patterns relegated them to the position of margin. The natives were removed from their association with their land, environment, and cultural ethos. The impact of colonialism affected their right to self-expression and identity. The American Indian Movement of the 1960s proved a turning point in expressing their solidarity and engaging in the larger discourse of voice and space. This discourse led to the emergence of Native Literature that gave voice to tribal representation and survival. In fact, what became visible was how the Native writers were rewriting themselves into existence. The question of survival remains intrinsic to communities under oppression and subjugation. The writing in the post-1990s was more oriented toward expressing identity through engaging in dialogue with sociocultural aspects of the community, which remained under a long erasure on account of the colonialist regime. This paper analyses Linda Hogan’s Power, Daine Glancy’s Pushing the Bear, and Betty Louise Bell’s Faces in the Moon from the praxis of native practices, voices, and alcoholism within the larger narrative of settler-colonial violence. It also highlights specific social-political and cultural issues within the respective tribal discourses while asserting the social and political agency of Native communities in the contemporary world. This paper addresses the techniques of representation in Native novels from the vantage point of indigeneity, survival, and identity politics.
