Authors (almost exclusively white authors) have often penned lengthy verses about Indians — from Thomas Morton’s New English Canaan (1637) to Longfellow’s Song of Hiawatha (1855) and Robert Lowell’s (once acclaimed, now obscure) trilogy of verse plays, The Old Glory (1965; revised in 1968 to include more Indians).
To kick off this thread, here is a link to my review of a very obscure poem from Alabama, appropriating an ancient native site (Moundville) to weave a Christian fable. The title is Behind the Mounds.
Have you read any poems that imagine Indians?

I recall reading and enjoying Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce by Robert Penn Warren several years ago

Spotted a copy of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce in a friend's library last month, and now it's on by TBR list. Has anyone else on the list read it? What do you recall of it?
