Abstract

This article examines the development of the Native identity of Marcia Muller's female private eye, Sharon McCone. McCone initially is identified with one-eighth Shoshone heritage. In Listen to the Silence (2000), McCone learns of her adoption and the membership of her birth parents in the Shoshone Nation. The series' second half explores McCone's Native identity, and contemporary Native experience, with increasing nuance and detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
