The next day Veronica and old Buks receive the news: the white man they have seen around town is going to buy the land on which they live and farm. Veronica suggests they fight against losing their home, perhaps by taking a petition to the government, but Buks is resigned to the situation. He is used to deferring to the white people who own most of the land, and plans to talk to the white man to convince him to let Buks and Veronica stay on to tend the land and clean his house, as their family has done for years. Buks' suggestion leads to a major confrontation between him and his granddaughter.
