The title of this blog is inspired by Antonio Muchado’s famous poem, “Caminante”. This poem talks about creating a road as one travels. This can be applied to the process of reading Native American literature because one can imagine oneself as a traveler who is venturing into the unknown when reading a piece of Native American literature. As one continues to “travel” through the literature, one starts to understand the deeper meaning it holds. The particular understanding of the literature is a “road” that one creates. I used this analogy as the title of my blog page because my blogs are based on my personal interpretations of the pieces of Native American literature that I derive after “traveling” through the literature.

I like your title and your explanation of it. This is also interesting when we consider Hall's "Looking For Signs," and her description of the road. I wonder if we are looking for signs when we read the literature for our class? What signs do we miss, and what signs do we see? Does that depend on our point-of-view and ideas going into the poem?
