This paper shows how the works of both Alexe's and Momaday commonly highlight Red Indians, representing them as a generation of people neglected, looked down, oppressed and severely under represented in nearly all spheres of an average American life. It examines how the authors, through their characters, portray the lack of understanding present in the American society for the Red Indians and the anger prevalent amongst the Red Indians. Both novels have awakened the literary world on the existence of a
culture that had always been there for possibly thousands of years, but only through an occasional perspective from an anthropologist and or a historian.
