We begin with a discussion of the "Interlude" in the novel, and then move to a conversation about the spider legs in Orvil's leg. Through this we move to a mini-lecture on "authorial intention" and the limits of interpretation. We conclude with a strong discussion of five competing conceptions of Native identity in this portion of the novel -- Opal's, Orvil's, Lony's, the Interlude's, and Calvin's.
