Summary of the border by Thomas

The short story Borders written by Thomas King tells about a worried mother that has pride in her culture and values where she comes from dearly. She resides in a native community. This intriguing story entails a woman who displays strong feelings towards her ethnic background. She is a member of the Blackfoot tribe and when she has to declare her citizenship at the Canadian-American border, she persistently presents herself as "Blackfoot." (King pg 169). Despite the anger of the national guards and the potential threats of arrest and detainment, she neither identifies herself as Canadian nor American.
