Sumario: The themes of transculturation, multiculturalism and border -making are discussed in Gardens in the Dune, The Heartsong of Charging Elk and Solar Storms and Power respectively by Leslie Marmon Silko, James Welch and Linda Hogan, three Native American authors. The first two authors deal with a two -way transcultural and interchange procedures in community building. Intercultural activities involve not only synthesis but also rupture and symbiosis. The two novels by Hogan, on the other han d, give importance to the construction of communities through connections between the human and the natural world which, in fact, are one. In other words, the novels deconstruct the border between nature and nurture. An integrated vision of reality implode s divisions and impairs the future destruction of earth.
