Novels by Native American authors are different from one another in some ways.
The basic tenet of the ‘’initiation’’ theme.

N. Scott Momaday and the Indian Abel.

Ceremony by Leslie Marmon Silko
The main character, Tayo, is also mixed parentage. He returns to his home on the Laguna Reservation after World War II. Tayo, too must go through the stages of alienation, rejection and finally reconcihation with his cultural heritage.
WINTER IN THE BLOOD 
Set in contemporary times, the novel features a self-destructive narrator undergoing an identity crisis. He lives in on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation in Montana. His tribe and his culture are clashing with a nearby white settlement and the effects of poor legislation. He moves through his days in a mental haze and tries to find consolation in sexual encounters.
He suffers from family tragedies, trying to deal with memories of his father found dead in a snowdrift, and blaming himself for his elder brother's fatal accident at the age of fourteen. The distant tone is set from the beginning, as the narrator's name is never given.
THE WAY TO RAINY MOUNTAIN
Tell about the migration of the Kiowas from mountains to the plains in the 1700’s is more than a physical journey, it’s a spiritual journey as well. it is not the cold, impersonal voice of the anthropologist or historian the speaks to us, but the warm and living voice of the people who lived the experience.
Winter in the blood and The Way to Rainy Mountain are not novels of cultural conflict. The clashes between the indian and non-indian are there, or course. But the characters are also living human being responsible for their own actions and, in some cases, victims of their own foolishness. Both Erdrich and Momaday use multiple narrators. The search for the truth is evident and earnest in all three novels. 
The literature of the native american writer has grown and matured considerably in the past fifty years. It is not an easy struggle.
