For reasons that are not mysterious, Indigenous studies has had little to say about William Faulkner. Though some of Faulkner’s most memorable characters and lasting fictions speak to topics of great concern to Indigenous studies – settler violence; land claims; intergenerational continuities and disruptions; and the entanglements of race, lineage, and power by way of blood, to name but four – Faulkner rarely centers on Indigenous people in his fictions, let alone writes them into the kinds of complex, densely textured existence he confers on non-Native characters.
