Document Summary
The narrative is naive but sharp at the same time. (ex sweet grass) The story of laetitia and her move to salt lake city & the present story of the son and the mother crossing the border. Borders of age (narrative) (ex: he is worried about eating at a restaurant and doesn"t understand why his mother is acting the way she is) **not border, blackfoot ignores border they"re on both sides canadian and american. Laetitia wants to go to a place full of blondes (dominant culture) she"s blown away by the concept of the grass is greener on the other side . pg. When the go to salt lake they went to a restaurant western story. Heroes in latetitia"s eyes because of television exposure. Reflecting success in the modern typical white mans point of view. Here she identifies with being canadian: -mom doesn"t want to be assimilated by the canadian culture but a part of her already is.
