After the era of the pre-Renaissance period, which characterized the development of Amerindian fiction, was changed by the Renaissance era of Amerindian culture, creativity of Amerindian writers of the XX - XXI centuries was widely recognized and attracted the attention of literary critics, ethnologists, culturologists and linguists. As the worksof contemporary Amerindian writers reflect the peculiarities of Amerindian worldview, the national color of mythopoetics, knowledge of the culture and traditions of ethnicity conveyed in the text through the image of narrator, who is the representative of Amerindian culture.
The issues of narrative organization, as well as the typology of narrators in prosaic texts, have not been fully studied at present, but more and more attaract the attention of researchers throughout the world (U. Margulini, W. Schmid, D. Shen, M.-L. Ryan, I. Behta, O. Tkachuk, S. Volkova and
others) and are taken as the theoretical ground in our work.
