Of the tall woman, green as dreams of forests and meadows waiting for those who’d worked a thousand years yet never owned their own. lands invaded when the earth became owned. lands of those who followed the changing moon, knowledge of the seasons in their veins. which theme is best supported by these two quotations from the poem "ellis island"? europeans should not have invaded the lands of american indians. different ideas about ownership affected the experiences of european americans and american indians. both european americans and american indians dreamed of land ownership in america. land ownership was dependent on the moon and the knowledge of the seasons.
