- Abstract
Louise Erdrich is widely acclaimed as one of the most significant writers of the contemporary Native American literature. Her first novel Love Medicine represents the lives of Chippewa Indians on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation. This paper intends to give a detailed analysis of the living plight of Native Americans in Love Medicine from three perspectives and explores the deep roots of their embarrassment. Also, the paper points out the significance of the existence and preservation of the unique Indian culture under the global multi-cultural background and gives some strategies for the survival of Native Americans.
