Title of the paper : Fluid Genealogy: Identity, Memory, and Indigenous Culture through Hydrofeminism in Linda Hogans Solar Storms and The People of Whale

Abstract: The main purpose of this article is to exemplify a fluid genealogy of identity, memory, and indigenous culture of Angels return to her ancestral homeland and Thomas, a Native American, return to his tribal community with the special reference to Linda Hogans, a Chickasaw novelist, Solar Storms and The People of Whale. Both the protagonists of the novels become an embodied hydrological journey in water. Her novels express diverse issues such as environment, gender, cultural conflict and spirituality. The main objective of this paper is to build water as an indigenous culture, a medium of healing, and a force that rebuilds kinship with ecological awareness. The theoretical framework applied in the paper is Hydrofeminism. The paper argues that the indigenous culture as a dynamic and relational process connects the place through environmental justice and collective memory.
