It is going to show that Luther Standing Bear and Zitkala Să often share the same view, even though they do belong to different tribes.
In this context special attention will be given to the earth, the elements like sun and air and, of course, to the animals. The aim of this paper will be to introduce the reader to the understanding of life with nature. In a second step a detailed description of the special concepts and philosophies explaining the Indian vision of nature will be given. These should help to build the authentic background considered that their works are directly related to their personal life and history. The first step will be to give the short biography of both authors. Each of them focuses on one single author, the contents are discussed separately. Both of them are seen as representative authors of the first generation of Native American writers at the beginning of the nineteenth century. This paper is part of the seminar “The Role of Nature in American and Canadian Writing“ and deals with the presentation of the two Indian writers Luther Stan-ding Bear and Zitkala Să.
