This poem had a very different feel then “Indian Cartography.” However, it had the same general idea, stating that individuals have lost their land and its history due to society. This poem was much more intense and had a bolder statement. The displacement of Native Americans was a huge downfall for the United States. Wendy Rose attempts to look through the point of view of her Native American ancestors and imagine what they went through during this difficult time. Because I feel it was told on a much more personal level, the intensity of the poem was stronger.
