Devon A. Mihesuah is a novelist and a citizen of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Critics and fellow writers have praised her work for combining traditional Choctaw stories with popular genres of literature, such as mystery fiction. But Mihesuah is not the only Indigenous writer to blend traditional stories with popular literature. In the 2018 novel Moon of the Crusted Snow, Waubgeshig Rice successfully blended the oral storytelling tradition of his people, the Anishinaabe, with horror fiction.
