Cree-M茅tis scholar Dr. Deanna Reder did not study Indigenous literatures as an undergraduate. At the time such courses did not exist at her university.

By the time she began her doctoral work in 2001, the field began to shift and a generation of 21st Century Indigenous writers began to be published.
