This paper discusses that Native American communications within their cultural settings entail many verbal and non-verbal methods of discourse. When examining this phenomenon, it is vital to emphasize that written literature and scholarship, in the way it is known in the Western world, does not exist in North American languages. This fact serves as the foundation to how and why Native American communication exists in the form of symbolism and visualized images. 6 pgs. 12 f/c. 5b.
