Spry contends that Hemingway’s portrayal of the noble, yet primitive, Anishinaabeg obscures the brutal impact of Euro-American domination of Anishinaabe territory that resulted in indigenous dispossession and impoverishment. Spry concludes that devoid of its context of colonization, the story requires the reader only to commiserate with the disappearance of the Natives, thus rendering reading an act of public consumption.
