Omishto's Feelings Shown Through Nature

As a member of the Native American Taiga tribe, Omishto seems extra aware of nature. She is a proud member of her tribe and while she is somewhere in between the tribal world and the modern world, she seems very careful to preserve the tribal world.
Throughout Power Omishto gives vivid descriptions of the nature around here. While taken at face value it may just be read as her observations. However, I feel Omishto uses these descriptions to convey her feelings as well. She relates deeply with nature, and often it seems her mood reflects the weather, or the happenings in nature at that same time.
In the last chapter, on page 230, Omishto is observing the world at dusk. She says the flowers "seem alone on the trees." Perhaps, Omishto also feels alone right now. She is unsure what to do, and it seems there is no one left that knows what she is going through.
All of the descriptions Omishto gives in the book can be related to how she feels. Omishto is a quiet character, and her descriptions are her way of relaying her feelings rather than flat out relaying them to the reader.
