Summary:Writer LaVonne Ruoff neither asks for nor needs adulation as she already has a luminous reputation in the history of Native American literary studies. LaVonne's immense service to Indian country and to the non-Indian world, in bibliography, in editing and publishing, in institution-building, and in community-building, has been to listen to Indian voices, directing others how and where to listen as well. As an effort to thank LaVonne, Moore offers a short list of archives that can provide more than a life's work for future writers and scholars in the field of Native American literature.
