The trouble is that most of the humans that Willa and her fellow clan members see in action are lumberjacks and are responsible for the destruction of their sacred, magical, fantastical homes in the forest.

What is one of the book's major themes?
One of the book's major themes involves the cultural differences between native societies (in the case of the book, Willa and her clan) and colonizing societies (the humans) have. Instead of taking a side in the debate, the author discusses the negative behavior and lack of morals each side exhibits. In other words, the author makes the point that both sides - the native societies and colonizing societies - had faults in this situation and, in a broader sense, throughout history.
