In Leslie Marmon Silko’s Garden in the Dunes, the author writes the tale of a young Native American, Indigo, pulled between her traditional heritage—which is on the brink of extinction—and white culture. In the novel, it is evident that Silko depicts how white culture can better itself if they learn to accept other cultures; in this novel, specifically Native American culture.

this are that it initiated fur trading between white fur trappers and Native Americans, it caused many people to immigrate to the Oregon Country, bringing their money with them, and it initiated the establishment of many fur trading forts.
