Description
Argues that rather than being an "Indian informant", Eastman tried to explain the complexity of American Indian cultural practices, while also making it clear that complete understanding was impossible.
The author describes the concept of Transmotion and how it relates to Indigenous literatures, worldviews and systems of knowledge. Discusses how the concept became central to his work and scholarship.
