I've just written this as a new entry, and can't complete this right now as I'd like to. The sorely lacking section is "literary career"--I know the info there probably would be better off elsewhere, but I've left it for the time being. The last part needed for this article is a summary of Ortiz' most important works and their mark on Native lit. Your help with this would be most appreciated as I don't feel qualified to write a good general commentary on that as I haven't read enough of his work. Man, do we need help here w/ Native writers...I was shocked to find no entry for someone as prominent as Ortiz, and there are many others who have no greatly-deserved article. Let's do it, people!
