Read the file Indigenous Identity, by Native scholar Hilary Weaver. I have already stated quite strongly that the preservation and expression of Native Identity is a vital aspect of Native people and communities, and will be an element of just about everything we will read for this class. You might even think of Identity as a motif or trope (if you don't know what a literary motif or trope are, you should look them up). Read this piece by Weaver carefully, and as you read think about the ways your own sense of Identity plays a part in your life. Is it important to you? Important to your family? Is your Identity important to strangers you meet?

Then, write a brief half-page response to this prompt: in general terms, how does Identity play a role in your daily life? If it doesn't, then write about that.
