Viehmann, Martha Lynn. "Writing Across the Cultural Divide: Images of Indians in the Lives and Works of Native and European Americans, 1890-1935," American Studies Program, Yale University, March 1994.
This study examines representations of Native Americans, self-representations of Indian identity, and identification with Indians by white and Indian authors in the era of assimilation. Employing literary and biographical analysis and attending to cultural contexts, the dissertation reevaluates the lives and writings of Simon Pokagon, Mourning Dove, Charles Eastman, Elaine Eastman, Mary Austin, and John Neihardt in terms of their reformulations and uses of Native American culture and character. It considers the problematics of Native American identity in the context of culture change and the enduring appeal of Native life and culture within U.S. society.
