This paper focuses on achieving Antonia`s self-realization as an immigrant from Bohemia after she overcomes her desperate life by realizing indigenous primitive vitality and producing vigorous offspring at Black Hawk, Nebraska. Her life is connected to the rediscovery of the migrants` tough lives while showing the land, a spirit of love, understanding, and generosity. And her promising position getting over the sterile life goes on her true independent self establishment. Antonia interacts with the natural environment as she learns pleasure of land development and spirit unlike her father, Mr. Shimerda, who cannot adjust to the different environment. She lives a successful, passionate life with an iron will by building some kinds of vitality and dignity even though she experiences shocking incidents including her father`s suicide, a lover`s betrayal, and an out-of-wedlock birth during the hard time in the foreign land. By overcoming a heterogeneous reality with the spirit of love and leading a life for tolerance, bringing up, caring on the primeval prairie in Nebraska, Antonia establishes her own firm identity without going along with mainstream culture.
