Fleur

Latina Blacknall “Fleur” a story written by Louise Endrich is a tale about a young Chippewa Indian woman who is feared by all the people that live on her reservation, Argus. They believed that she has been cursed by the water monster of Lake Turcot who seeks her life for his own. Her general lifestyle is an awe to them because she lives outside of traditional ways. She stirs things up with her uncanny luck …

…determined to live her life how she wants to. She never listened to the gossip about her and let it get her down. I liked the fact that no one could quite understand Fleur. She represented a puzzle that no one could solve, no one was meant to. No one really knew where she came from, they just know that she appeared and with her presence they knew that their lives would be changed forever.
