The science of ecology looks at nonhumannature, studying the numerous, complex interactions among its abioticcomponents (air, water, soils, atoms, and molecules) and its biotic components(plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi). Human ecology adds the interactionsbetween people and their environments, enormously increasing the complexities.The aesthetic, spiritual and recreational value for human beings now and in thefuture are encompassed in this approach to nature (Baxter, 1999). The ideologyof ecologism involves a reconsideration of the way we think about moral andenvironmental matters and what Baxter refers to as human interconnectednesswith the biosphere of this planet. One of the areas of ecology is eco-literacywhich is defined as being the capacity to understand nature’s systems.Ecologism extends ecoliteracy towards ecological citizenship. The purpose ofthis study is to probe the ecological citizenship depicted in the poems by JoyHarjo who is strongly influenced by her Muskogee Creek heritage. Harjo holdsthat she feels strongly that she has a responsibility to all the sources thatshe is and has: to all past and future ancestors, to home country, to allplaces , to all voices, all women, all tribes, all people, all earth, andbeyond that to all beginnings and endings (Harjo, 2014).  CR - 1.
