Words are the creative principle of the universe, and language in its flux is fore fronted in Native American literary practices. Flux is a constant in oral literature, since through language the self that does not exist apart from the community is created.
The first Pulitzer winning Native American author Scott Momaday's autobiographical texts exemplify the flux, while the same themes worked and reworked in texts that themselves overlap. Since he is a storyteller, the selfhood is dispersed in texts that converge, and illustrations, photographs, critical essays, stories, myths, short narrative pieces all go into these texts, all of which Momaday perceives as parts of an intricate design. Thus three autobiographical texts by Momaday can be seen as a single continuity.
