Native Americans would usually use stories to illustrate their culture. They would use oral tradition, which their ancestors had passed on from one generation to another. The oral tradition tells how the Native Americans see the Westerners, which are not often found in books.

Answer: Joseph Bruchac makes several comparisons between Native American and Western Cultures in his essay 'The Sun Still Rises In The Same Sky: Native American Literature.'

Explanation:

Joseph Bruchac was born on October 16, 1942, in Greenfield Center, New York. He is a poet and storyteller, authoring more than 120 books. Bruchac is from the Abenaki, a Native American tribe, from his mother's lineage. The interest to write Native American stories were inherited in Bruchac as a part of his cultural heritage.
