The study explores how Native American writers navigate the intersection of their cultural heritage and the dominant culture through the lens of transculturation. It presents a dynamic interaction between traditional worldviews and contemporary literary techniques, highlighting the works of authors like Anna Lee Walters and Thomas King. By framing this cultural encounter as a process rather than a conflict, the analysis underscores transculturation as a vital survival strategy for Native Americans, reflecting their ongoing adaptation and resilience in literature and society.
