Positionality and Normative Geographies in Native American Women's Writings

The present study aims to revisit Louise Erdrich's Tracks, Polingaysi Qoyawayma's No Turning Back, and Diane Glancy's The Reason for Crows to understand the portrayal of normative geographies in these works. The study considers Tim Cresswell's theoretical formulations of normative geography to explore the constitution and Native American women's positionality within these normative geographic structures. The study maintains that Native American normative geographies are structured to maintain Native American patriarchal socio-cultural supremacy. The study also asserts that Native American woman is located at the margin of these biased normative geographic structures.
