Abstract

This study examines one of the ecological issues, destruction of the natural habitat in Linda Hogan's novel, Solar Storms (1995). It focuses on what eco-criticism is and what it aims. Moreover, it sheds light on Linda Hogan, as a prominent eco- novelist. It also throws light on the impact of displacement on the identity of Native Americans in Solar Storms where they experienced identity crisis as a result of being away from their natural world. Solar Storms traces the journey, which the protagonist, Angel, makes for discovering her identity. This journey consists of three stages: the first one is to recognize her past, the second one is to connect with the place and belong to it, and the last one is to defend the place and to protect it. After this journey, the protagonist, Angel, can discover her identity and defend her environment because of her re-initiation of her cultural legacy.
