This essay aims to explore the meaning of ceremony in Linda Hogan's Solar Storms and examines the messages she wants to convey through her work as a Native American writer. Solar Storms depicts the changes in the community and a positive vision for the future. It explains how the redefinition of the community can lead to rebirth. With the rewriting of myths and the main character’s spiritual odyssey toward self-awareness, the author stresses that returning to the community is not a mere regression but a beginning of a journey toward a new and better future. Bush's mourning feast and Angela's odyssey through Boundary Waters can be regarded as a kind of ceremonies which gradually change characters' mental dimension. Through ceremonies, Angela and Bush get over their separation, so the course of ceremonies concurs with the course of wholeness recovery. Hogan emphasizes the importance of community, rituals and ceremonies as well as Native Americans’ awareness of their new identity and return to origin. Her works of fiction proceed in consecutive order, and there occur changes in the boundaries of the meanings. These changes will bring more extensive meanings, and it implies that her stories will continue to change in the future. Hogan is an enthusiastic activist who envisions and helps facilitate continued change and extinction of boundaries.
