The American situation is of course rather different but the usual assumption in Canada is that all Canadian literature is "postcolonial," whatever that is, but that it is not on poco courses because it is in Canadian courses. On the other hand, until very recently most Canlit courses had no Native component, which was of course ridiculous. When I was at a poco conference in Australia once there was a conference at which the assumption was that Aboriginal writers were "postcolonial" but that non-indigenous writers were not. I honestly don't know who should be more offended.
