Abstract: This thesis is a postcolonial, ecocritical examination of the poetry of Oodgeroo Noonuccal, Luci Tapahonso, and Haunani-Kay Trask. It considers the use of poetry as a continuation of oral tradition, the poets' individual use of images of the natural world to depict the ties between their indigenous cultures and the land, and the way that this depiction reasserts the native identity of the culture they are representing.
