Flight and Love Medicine


Reading Louise Erdrich’s Love Medicine brought to my mind Flight, a novel written by Native American author Sherman Alexie. In short, Flight was mostly a story about a young Native American boy dealing with being bi-racial, his history, and the universal teenage angst. Many of the themes such as alcoholism, abuse, family interconnectedness that are in n Love Medicine are similar to themes shown in Flight.  Utilizing specifically Love Medicine, if at all, how do you think this novel addresses the stereotypes of Native Americans?
