Haas, A. M. (2007). Wampum as hypertext: An American Indian intellectual tradition of multimedia theory and practice. Studies in American Indian Literatures

What does this mean:

Perhaps if we allow ourselves to listen to this story of wampum as hypertext in accord with the other existing stories about hypertext,

we might enjoy what Indiana Miami scholar Malea Powell describes as an emergence of a "new story about ourselves, not a 'prime' narrative held together by the sameness of our beliefs, but a gathering of narratives designed to help us adapt and change as is necessary for our survival.

how we can make American Indian discourse more inclusive of contemporary American Indian experience?

Maybe they have their own literature that does not have to be included into modern English literature?

Some hypertext require human interaction, what kind?

However, Western hypertext does not require a conscious effort to remember the message encoded in the technology. How? What kind? This is interesting, I want to learn more about this concept.
