Is reassessing notions same as expansion of focus? Shouldnt it be more like correcting the focus?
Nop
The phrase “reassess their notions of the proper domain” was used by the author to convey this message : the scholars who study the influences on Native American oral narratives should reevaluate their understanding of what is relevant and appropriate to include in their studies. In this case, the author is proposing that European influences should also be considered as part of the proper domain of research on Native American oral narratives.

Can u pls confirm the meaning of this sentence?
“European influence is not always synonymous with the waning of Native American traditions”
does it say that European influence didn’t always rise when the American traditions were diminishing
The author meant to say that the presence of European influences in Native American oral literature does not necessarily mean that Native American traditions are disappearing or losing their significance and he provided evidence of it with the eg. of “The cock and the Mouse”
