I roto i tana pukapuka tuatahi, ka haria tātou e Elizabeth J. Church i ngā tau o te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao i Chicago ki ngā awaawa nui kua maroke i te rā o New Mexico i ngā tau 1970, i a tātou e whai ana i te haerenga a tētahi wahine rangatahi hihiri, hihiri, a Meridian Wallace, ko ōna wawata pūtaiao kua hurihia e ngā tumanakohanga o tōna wā..
I te tau 1941, i te tekau mā whitu o ōna tau, ka tīmata a Meridian i ana akoranga mō ngā manu i Te Whare Wānanga o Chicago. Kāore i roa ka kukume ia ki a Alden Whetstone, he ahorangi ahupūngao mohio, uaua hoki, e whakatuwhera ana i ōna kanohi ki ngā kaupapa matua me ngā rotarota o tana mara, te ataahua o te nekehanga, te wāhi me te wā, te taurite ngawari o te kaha me te pūngao e taea ai e te manu te rere.
I roto i te aroha me te miharo, ka whakarērea e Meridian tana ake ara mahi, ka aru i a Alden ki te hauauru ki Los Alamos, ki reira ia e whai wāhi ana ki tētahi kaupapa huna a te kāwanatanga (i muri mai ka mōhiotia ko te poma atomika). Heoi, i roto i te ao marena, ka ngaro ia, ka mahue. Ka tukuna e ia ana wawata mātauranga ki te ako i tētahi whānau manu kākāriki, ko tō rātou oranga herekore me te hoa rangatira ngā mea e ahua kore e taea e ia te whakatutuki.
I reira i roto i ōna awaawa, i ngā tau i muri mai i te tīmatanga o te tekau tau atu i 1970, me ngā taiohi ahurea whakahē e whakakī ana i ngā tiriti me ngā whakahē mō te pakanga e pakaru ana ngā whare wānanga puta noa i te motu, ka tūtaki a Meridian ki a Clay, he tohunga whenua taitamariki me te hōia o te Pakanga o Vietnam, ā, ka rapu tahi rāua i ngā huarahi hei whakatika i ngā mea kua pakaru i te ao.
He tino hopu i ngā wā pōuri o Amerika i ngā tau 1940 me 1950, Te Taumaha Atomika o te Aroha ka tirohia hoki ngā tūranga rerekē o ngā wāhine i ngā tekau tau i muri mai. Ā, i roto i a Meridian Wallace ka kitea e tātou tētahi toa wahine e kore e warewaretia, ko tōna huringa āhua e whakaatu ana i te whakatuwheratanga o te ao e te kaupapa wāhine mō tētahi whakatipuranga katoa.Mai i te kaiwhakaputa.)
