He faces a conflict of man versus nature and man versus man.3 First, nature defeats him with a grasshopper swarm…

these factors come together to create each individual’s unique identity. Noonuccal's poem ‘We Are Going’ discusses the shared identity of indigenous people and their struggle to protect their cultural identity due to colonisation.
