She argues against the existence of a coherent "Indian" identity, insisting that "identity" and "stability" are synonymous with "stagnancy" and "
homogony." Finally, when Pulitano does engage Womack's discussion of queer Natives, she ends up focusing solely on the "queer" and not the "Native." Citing queer theory as the main support for her objection, she then proceeds to pull in a pan-Native term, "trickster," as an example of how this theory works, completely overlooking the existence of queer Natives as possible support for her queer theory.
