Abstract or Introduction

This essay discusses "The Loons" by Margaret Laurence as a literary approach to native literature.

In telling the story of the heroine Piquette Tonnerre, a young halfbreed girl of French and Indian origins, Maragret Laurence draws heavily on a well-known issue in native literature, namely on the confrontation of two different cultures as embodied in the girl’s search for her identity.
