“Letter of Forgiveness”
In this activity, students will write forgiveness letters to people, places, things, or ideas.
Throughout the novel, Nanapush encourages Lulu to forgive Fleur for sending Lulu to a boarding school. The novel ends without clarifying whether Lulu offers this forgiveness to Fleur. The act of forgiveness is often characterized as something that frees the forgiver from the past rather than something intended for the object of the apology.
