Louise Erdrich's Tracks
This is an excerpt from the paper...
Louise ErdrichÆs Tracks is the tale of the ChippewaÆs efforts to maintain their lands and their culture. In the story, we see the conflict between Chippewa traditional believes and Christian teachings. The oral storytelling of Nanapush is used to provide a transition from old Chippewa culture to present times, stories that Nanapush must relate ôstep by step,ö (Erdrich, p. 109). For this reason, Erdrich has named her book ôTracks,ö because NanapushÆs stories provide the path or route by which Chippewa and others can travel to their heritage and continue maintaining it. The ôtracksö ErdrichÆs story are the tracks laid down by Nanapush as he attempts to provide the continuance of the Chippewa heritage for others
