The corpus is divided into four periods based on the stages of development of postcolonial Englishes as per Schneider's Dynamic model (2007).

Sky Woman, Trickster, Windigo: Reflections of Traditional Storytelling in Contemporary Canadian Indigenous Novel Žena z nebe (Sky Woman), Šprýmař (Trickster), Windigo: Reflexe tradičního vypravěčství v současném kanadském indigenním románu Mgr.

At first, the role and importance of storytelling for Indigenous cultures, and consequently for literature, is discussed. The following analysis of individual novels is centered around three characters significant and recurrent in Indigenous storytelling - Sky Woman, the trickster, and the windigo, and it studies the way oral storytelling shapes the narrative styles, and how Indigenous referential frameworks are manifested in this process. The theoretical background is informed mainly by sources from Indigenous scholars and the texts are analysed through concepts based on Indigenous perspectives on storytelling, which hopes to bring a different view on these texts than the readings based on postcolonial and postmodern theory frequently applied in recent decades.
