Is the narrator breaking free from oppression or merely giving in to a new oppressor? Thoughtfully expressed Katherine. One of the problems with trying to interpret gender relations in Native American literature is that many native cultures do not have the entrenched history of patriarchal domination that American mainstream culture has had.
