ABSTRACT Kent Nerburn wrote Neither Wolf Nor Dog in 1994. Nerburn is referred to as “One of the few writers who can respectfully bridge the gap between native and non-native cultures”- (Collins. web) This is a story about a man from Minnesota who travels to a reservation to meet with a Native American Elder. Nerburn is an author of two extremely popular books in the Native American community: To Walk the Red Road, and We Choose to Remember. The Elder had read these books, and wanted to meet Kent Nerburn. He had his granddaughter call him and ask if Nerburn would pay him a visit. Nerburn discovers the Dan wants him to write a book on all of his notes he had taken over the years of the interactions between Native Americans and the white man, and the story about his half white- half Native American son. Neither Wolf Nor Dog (Nerburn, 1994) is an intriguing book displaying the intercultural beliefs, actions and attitudes of an American Indian and a white man. The novel is a story about the author, Kent Nerburn, receiving a phone call from the granddaughter of an Native American elder asking if he had written two extremely popular books in the Indian community across North America (Nerburn, 1994, p. 9). Once he replied that he had, she asked if he would come see her grandfather, Dan. Kent was wary at first to what he wanted, he didn’t know if Dan was angry or wanted to challenge something he had written, which is something that happened occasionally (Nerburn, 1994, p. 10). Nerburn traveled to the reservation to talk to him and was shocked with what he wanted. Dan wanted Nerburn to write a book of all the notes, paragraphs, thoughts, ideas, and observations of what he had watched between Native Americans and white people. This book is life changing in the sense that it shows you how different Native Americans and white people really are: from the items we call sacred to the difference in appreciation for silence, we are different.
