She died in January this year.
Barnes, Steve 1998 FAR BEYOND THE STARS Deep Space Nine; race in Harlem w/ Sisko as
the writer Native American author (or Black) as noted in Wiscon panel; I liked it. [see also

Erdrich, Louise 1999 The Birchbark House; excellent. This is one of those that is historical but
that has very much an SF 'feel'. Highly recommended.
Nagata, Linda 1995 The Bohr Maker; good read; Native American writer (as noted from
WISCON panel)
Nagata, Linda 1995 Limit of Vision; interesting tale in Vietnam w/ illegal brain implant stuff.
High tech. First Nation author
Silko, Leslie Marmon 1977 Ceremony; on the healing effects of Native American ceremonies,
adapted, for post traumatic stress, etc.; excellent, very well written. This author is one of those
that we would not have included in SF but with the expanded definition of Spec Lit it does fit; it
does have 'SF feel'.
Silko, Leslie Marmon 1999 Gardens in the Dunes interesting; intersection between Indian &
white; women better place among Indian. Excellent. Gardens is a leit motif all through. And
friendship across boundaries. And inabilities to listen or hear. Highly recommended.
Arnason, Eleanor Mammoths of the Great Plains PM Press 2010. It is fully a Native American
story and the only voices are Native American. It is SF and it is excellent. Recommended.
Fancher: This trilogy is said to have Native Americans included; I have not yet read because I
have not found Volume I. I met the author at Magicon and was impressed; I'm still looking:
Fancher, Jane S. 1992 UPLINK 2nd of Trilogy
Fancher, Jane S. 1992 HARMONIES OF THE 'NET 3rd of Trilogy
LeGuin, Ursula K. 1985 Always Coming Home; probably the best depiction of future
descendants of some group of Native Americans from the Pacific coast without once saying
Native Americans; a beautiful magnificently done book that will repay rereading multiple times.
Zettel, Sarah 1998 Playing God Excellent. Draws on Native American/anthropological ideas.
Watson, Ian The Martian Inca, very badly done, NOT recommended
The Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer is probably the most popular current depiction of Native
Americans. The werewolves in the series are all Native American, and Jacob (who is Native
American) is a romantic lead. However, Meyer named here fantasy tribe of werewolves after an
actual living tribe (the Quileute) who live in the area.
Kynship by Daniel Heath Justice. Justice is a Cherokee author and Kynship is the beginning of a
fantasy trilogy rooted in Cherokee tradition.
The Carl Brandon Society recommends the following speculative fiction books by writers of
