Discuss the development of the “Urban Indian” identity and ownership of that label. How does it relate to the push for assimilation by the United States government? How do the characters in There There navigate this modern form of identity alongside their ancestral roots?
To establish a working definition of the term “Urban Indian,” you are encouraged to reference last week’s documentary, Urban Rez, and the National Urban Indian Family Coalition (Links to an external site.)’s 2008 report. You should also engage the novel by close-reading relevant quotations.
