Women's Health Summary The author tells the story of two Native-American (Chippewa) families whose lives interweave through several generations during the years 1934-1984. The primary setting is a reservation in North Dakota. The main characters, Marie and Nector Kashpaw and Lulu Lamartine, are colorful, sympathetic people caught in a love triangle that endures for most of their adult lives. "Love medicine" represents an attempt by a Kashpaw grandson to assure once and for all that his aging grandfather will love and be true to his wife and cease "hankering after the Lamartine." The plan ends in disaster when corners are cut and the authentic old Indian customs for preparing the "love medicine" are circumvented. There is a strong sense of the blending of culturesreligion, medicine, commerce, education all take on the distinctive qualities of an evolving mixed culture. Displacement and disenfranchisement are a fact of life, taken almost for granted, with humor, but not without a response. "They gave you worthless land to start with and then they chopped it out from under your feet. They took your kids away and stuffed the English language in their mouth . . . They sold you booze for furs and then told you not to drink. It was time, high past time, the Indians smartened up and started using the only leverage they had-federal law." (p. 326) So begins an initiative to establish a gambling casino; "gambling fit into the old traditions . . . . "

24. Louise Erdrich (Chippewa) (b. 1954) Classroom syllabus for discussion of author and works. http://college.hmco.com/english/heath/syllabuild/iguide/erdrich.html

Louise Erdrich (Chippewa) (b. 1954) Contributing Editor: Andrew O. Wiget Classroom Issues and Strategies One problem in teaching Love Medicine is the intensity of religious experience, which many students in today's secular society may have difficulty relating to. Another is the surrealistic imagery that Marie Lazarre uses in describing her relationship with Sister Leopolda. And yet a third is understanding the historical and cultural context of reservation life at this period of time in the 1930s. In terms of the historical and cultural context, I would point out to students that Indian reservations in the 1930s were notorious for their poverty, their high mortality rate, their chronic unemployment, and the destruction of the fabric of Native American social and cultural forms. One of the principal policies of the United States government was to transform Native Americans into carbon copies of Anglo-Americans, and one of the principal ways that they hoped to accomplish this, ever since the Grant administration in the 1870s, was through religion. During the 1870s, the Native American communities were allocated among the various major Christian sects, and missionary activity was understood to be an agent of social and cultural transformation. The objective was to get rid of the Indian while saving the man. Culture was imagined as a number of practices and behaviors and customs, whichif they could be changedwould eliminate all the historic obstacles to the Indians' participation in Anglo-American culture. Of course, if they were eliminated, so would the Indian nest be eliminated. Religion then is hardly a simple spiritual force, but an agent of the interests of the Euro-American majority. Such an understanding, I think, should help students appreciate the intensity with which Marie and Sister Leopolda enter their confrontation.

Women's Rights on Trial Louise Erdrich b. 1954 American writer "My father used to give me a nickel for every story I wrote.... So at an early age I felt myself to be a published author earning substantial royalties." Introduction Jacklight, a volume of poetry, and Love Medicine, Love Medicine traces two Native American families from 1934 to 1984 in a unique seven-narrator format. The novel was extremely well-received, earning its author numerous awards, including the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1984. Since then, Erdrich has gone on to publish The Beet Queen, Tracks, The Bingo Palace, and Tales of Burning Love, all of which are related through recurring characters and themes. Erdrich's interest in writing can be traced to her childhood and her heritage. She told Writer's Digest contributor Michael Schumacher, "People in [Native American] families make everything into a story.... People just sit and the stories start coming, one after another. I suppose that when you grow up constantly hearing the stories rise, break, and fall, it gets into you somehow." The oldest in a family of seven children, Erdrich was raised in Wahpeton, North Dakota. Her Chippewa grandfather had been the tribal chair of the nearby Turtle Mountain Reservation, and her parents worked at the Bureau of Indian Falls boarding school. Erdrich once told

A Reader's Guide to the Novels of Louise Erdrich Peter G. Beidler and Gay Barton One of the most widely read and prolific contemporary Native American writers, Louise Erdrich is highly praised for her experimental narratives and richly complex characters. Interweaving plots, characters, locations, and perspectives, Erdrich's writing carries readers into a fictional maze that is both compelling and entertaining, yet sometimes confusing. Bringing together for the first time information from all six of Erdrich's novels, A Reader's Guide to the Novels of Louise Erdrich pilots readers through the maze of her interlocking worlds. Erdrich's first five novels, beginning with the award-winning Love Medicine and concluding with Tales of Burning Love, are largely set on or near the same fictional Indian reservation in North Dakota and share many of the same characters. The Antelope Wife, her sixth novel, has a different setting but features an equally complex cast of characters. In their guide, Beidler and Barton trace these interconnections between individuals and families, as well as the multiple overlapping stories within and among the novels. Divided into two main sections

Click to return to the current issue In the past year alone, Louise Erdrich completed one novel, nearly finished another, opened a bookstore and, at forty-six, gave birth to a daughter named Azure. When Erdrich walks into her Minneapolis store, Birch Bark Books, Herbs and Native Arts, she is juggling an armful of paper and books and passing out chocolate tins with pictures of Elvis Presley and the cartoon character Pepe Le Pew on top. She adjusts Azure, who's ready to be fed. "Overdoing it is my motto," she announces. "I'm one of those overdoing-it mothers." Love Medicine The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse . Lyrically reflective, wittily refracted and adeptly sensual, the story centers on Agnes DeWitt, who, because of a series of passions and events, lives most of her life as Father Damien Modeste, a mission priest on an Indian reservation between 1912 and 1996. The Last Report "Maybe when I'm eighty, I'll start being a person who will choose the less complex of the choices, and life will be manageable," Erdrich says. "But I don't do that.

About Louise Erdrich Louise Erdrich T he earth was full of life and there were dandelions growing out the window, thick as thieves, already seeded, fat as big yellow plungers. She let my hand go. I got up. "I'll go out and dig a few dandelions," I told her. Outside, the sun was hot and heavy as a hand on my back. I felt it flow down my arms, out my fingers, arrowing through the ends of the fork into the earth. With every root I prized up there was a return, as if I was kin to its secret lesson. The touch got stronger as I worked through the grassy afternoon. Uncurling from me like a seed out of the blackness where I was lost, the touch spread. The spiked leaves full of bitter mother's milk. A buried root. A nuisance people dig up and throw in the sun to wither. A globe of frail seeds that’s indestructible. From Love Medicine Brigham Narins Erdrich's interest in writing can be traced to her childhood and her heritage. She told Writer's Digest contributor Michael Schumacher, "People in [Native American] families make everything into a story . . . People just sit and the stories start coming, one after another. I suppose that when you grow up constantly hearing the stories rise, break, and fall, it gets into you somehow." Erdrich once told Contemporary Authors of the way in which her parents encouraged her writing: "My father used to give me a nickel for story I wrote, and my mother wove strips of construction paper together and stapled them into book covers. So at an early age I felt myself to be a published author earning substantial royalties."
