Long Answer
1. By relaying Fleur’s story through Nanapush and Pauline, the author contributes to the mythological status of Fleur. She is the kind of woman who will take a special place in Indigenous lore. And, as with all mythical stories, truth and fiction become so intertwined that they are no longer separable. (Various chapters)
2. Fleur destroys the last of the forest to maintain autonomy. She refuses to allow the loggers to touch her or her home. Not even Eli can sway her from her course. In the end, the last Pillager remains unbeaten by white encroachment. (Chapter 9)
