Abstract:
This essay argues that characters in Linda Hogan's novel Solar Storms resist the erasure of Indigenous culture through stories they tell about human relationships with water. These stories emphasize water's transcendence of settler frameworks for explanation and control, foregrounding its role in re-shaping Indigenous resistance to continually expanding colonial development.
