This paper attempts to show how people use narratives in the process of self definition based on locale. In 1949, Tunisian immigrants are sent to establish a new settlement in the Israeli Negev desert. Stories they share about their experiences in coping with the locale help them to establish a new identity, that of Israeli pioneers. The locale and its markers become chronotopes and help define the place and its settlers as distinct from the neighboring places/people.
