George Lark was a white man who once owned a gas station near the reservation. He was Grace’s husband, Linden’s father, and Linda’s biological father. George, like his wife and son, was known for his racism towards Native people; he regularly tried to swindle Native people at his gas station before a boycott drove him out of business. George features much less prominently in the novel than his wife, Grace.
