 Ploughshares, the literary journal
James Welch refers to himself as an Indian—not a Native American, not an American Indian—and he is often amused that, while the simple ethnic designation is used as a matter of course on reservations, it causes a furor on university campuses.
Despite the extreme poverty around him, Welch remembers his childhood with fondness—particularly the beauty of the Montana landscape and the physical labors of feeding and putting up hay on the cattle ranch and farm that his father ran for a time.
Welch himself does not discount the possibility of assimilation, but he acknowledges the difficulty of it, and he encourages the neo-tribalism that has developed in recent years.
