Journal Article
Towards an Environmental Justice
2023
Overview
Linda Hogan is a Chickasaw poet who wrote various volumes of poetry that reflect her love for Chickasaw's history, land, and oral traditions. She also wrote about the environment and the natural world. Although she is a well-known environmentalist, scholars have not investigated her environmental vision and its connection to native traditions and the ecosystem, specifically in her collection of poetry Dark. Sweet: New & Selected Poems (2014). This study aims to answer the following questions: What is the environmental perspective of Linda Hogan in her collection of poetry Dark. Sweet: New & Selected Poems (2014)? How does she present environmental justice in her poetry? How does she connect her environmental vision to her tribal heritage? The study also deals with Hogan's holistic representation of the human experience in the natural world. Through the application of the ecocritical approach, the study reveals the poet's depiction of past injustices of colonization and its lingering ecological effects on humans and the ecosystem. Additionally, it examines Native American storytelling and traditional healing practices and how they can form the balance between human, ecological and spiritual system. The study adopted a qualitative method that involves a thematic analysis of the poet's work. The findings show that Hogan communicates her tribal ecological vision through her strategy of ecoresistance. They also reveal that humans and the ecosystem were the discounted casualties of European colonization. For Native Americans, to decolonize themselves and the land, they must strive for environmental justice along with seeking the right for self determination. The researcher recommends conducting a study that identifies the influence of Hogan's Anglo culture on her environmental poetic writings by considering that she is of mixed-blood heritage.
