Native Americans, earth, tradition, flight, Wendy RoseAbstract
This essay connects the development of Rose's poetic language with her estrangement from her family's multi-ethnic traditions. Rose's quest for a Native American and, more recently, for a half-breed identity is explored through the analysis of two recurrent images associated with flight and earth. These reach back to her father's Hopi tradition where woman's creative power is evidenced in the symbols of the butterfly, the dragonfly, of Mother Corn, and of Mother Earth.
