Collective memory in Joseph Boyden’s “The Orenda” as a means for the Native American identity search

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of Joseph Boyden’s novel “The Orenda”. In this novel Boyden outlines his prominent historiosophical aesthetics through the concepts of mid-17th century Canadian history settled in a brilliant epic of Huron and Iroquois Nations wars. The author of the article proves the non-randomness of the writer’s appeal to the events of the Canadian history, in the images and symbols of which the modern history of the country is refracted.
