Please visit our Web site at www.linworth.com Review The Birchbark House is what many of us have been seeking for many years: a good story through which the Native American culture during the Westward Expansion of the United States is realistically and sympathetically portrayed. This band of Ojibwa (old name: Anishinabe) live on an island in Lake Superior and we are witness to much of the custom and ritual, successes and tragedies of these people who lived so closely bound to the earth. The book has been nominated for the National Book Award for Young People's Literature. It makes an excellent read-aloud choice for children as young as third grade and should appeal to youngsters all the way up through seventh, at least.

May 22, 2000 WRITERS ON WRITING Two Languages in Mind, but Just One in the Heart By LOUISE ERDRICH or years now I have been in love with a language other than the English in which I write, and it is a rough affair. Every day I try to learn a little more Ojibwe. I have taken to carrying verb conjugation charts in my purse, along with the tiny notebook I've always kept for jotting down book ideas, overheard conversations, language detritus, phrases that pop into my head. Now that little notebook includes an increasing volume of Ojibwe words. My English is jealous, my Ojibwe elusive. Like a besieged unfaithful lover, I'm trying to appease them both. The Associated Press Louise Erdrich says she has been enriched by her ancestors' tongue: "There is a spirit or an originating genius belonging to each word." Ojibwemowin, or Anishinabemowin, the Chippewa language, was last spoken in our family by Patrick Gourneau, my maternal grandfather, a Turtle Mountain Ojibwe who used it mainly in his prayers. Growing up off reservation, I thought Ojibwemowin mainly was a language for prayers, like Latin in the Catholic liturgy. I was unaware for many years that Ojibwemowin was spoken in Canada, Minnesota and Wisconsin, though by a dwindling number of people. By the time I began to study the language, I was living in New Hampshire, so for the first few years I used language tapes. I never learned more than a few polite phrases that way, but the sound of the language in the author Basil Johnson's calm and dignified Anishinabe voice sustained me through bouts of homesickness. I spoke basic Ojibwe in the isolation of my car traveling here and there on twisting New England roads. Back then, as now, I carried my tapes everywhere.

Go on and count by Louise Erdrich Discuss this story in the forum of I was looking down the hill, waiting for the rain to start, when his white car pulled into our yard. The driver was a big man, built long and square just like the Oldsmobile. He was wearing a tie and a shirt that was not yet sweaty. I noticed this as I was walking back down the hill. I was starting to notice these things about men the way their hips moved when they hauled feed or checked fence lines. The way their forearms looked so tanned and hard when they rolled up their white sleeves after church. I was looking at men not with intentions, because I didn't know yet what I would have done with one if I got him, but with a studious mind. I was looking at them just to figure, for pure survival, the way a girl does. The way a farmer, which my dad was before he failed, gets to know the lay of the land. He loves his land, so he has to figure how to cultivate it what it needs in each season, how much abuse it will sustain, what in the end it will yield. And I, too, in order to increase my yield and use myself right, was taking my lessons. I never tried out my information, though, until the man arrived, pulled with a slow crackle into our lake-pebble driveway. He got out and looked at me where I stood in the shade of my mother's butterfly bush. I'm not saying that I flirted right off. I didn't know how to. I walked into the sunlight and looked him in the eye.

I Was Sleeping Where The Black Oaks Move By Louise Erdrich We watched form the house As the river grew, helpless And terrible in its unfamiliar body. Wrestling everything into it The water wrapped around trees Until their life-hold was broken. They went down, one by one, and the river dragged off their covering Nests of the herons, roots washed to the bones, Snags of soaked bark on the shoreline: A whole forest pulled through the teeth Of the spillway. Trees surfacing Singly, where the river poured off Into arteries for fields below the reservation. When at last it was over, the long removal, They had all become the same dry wood. We walked among them, the branched Whitening in the raw sun. Above us drifted heron.

The Bingo Palace "The Painted Drum" (Reviewed by Mary Whipple OCT 30, 2004) "Some people believe objects absorb something of their owner's essence. I stay clear of that. And yet, when I step near the drum, I swear it sounds. One deep, low, resonant note. I stop dead still, staring at the drum. I hear it, I know I hear it, and yet Sarah Tatro does not." When Faye Travers, an estate agent in New Hampshire, inventories the home of John Jewett Tatro at the behest of his niece and heirs, she is aware that Tatro's grandfather was once an Indian agent on an Ojibwe reservation and that his grandmother was Indian. Faye, of Indian heritage herself, is hoping to find some Indian artifacts that can be sold or donated to a museum on behalf of the estate. Sarah Tatro, the niece, is not much interested in "old beadwork and stuff," and she has almost forgotten the old storage room in the attic, but when she opens it, Faye finds a room packed with suitcases containing beadwork, baskets, moccasins and other handwork, a cradleboard, and a beaded footstool—a collection of enormous value.

By giving voice to previously silenced http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/ejournals/old-WILLA/fall00/nigro.html

The Women in Literacy and Life Assembly of The National Council of Teachers of English Editor: Patricia Kelly kellyp@vt.edu Volume 9 Fall 2000 DLA Ejournal Home WILLA Home Table of Contents for this issue Search WILLA and other ejournals Revisioning History through Literary Characters: Louise Erdrich's Pauline and Toni Morrison's Beloved Marie Nigro, Lincoln University The history of the westward movement of European culture in the United States is often told as the "glory of winning the West." Overlooked in that myth is the fact that the winning was at the expense of Native Americans. Likewise, the horrors of slavery are commonly dismissed with comments such as, "it's over; it's done; let's put it all behind us." However two authors force us to confront a different version of reality, one that is uncomfortable-one that many might wish to ignore. Toni Morrison's Beloved and Louise Erdrich's Tracks are books that demonstrate how history is not over and done with. By giving voice to previously silenced stories told by women who have little power over their lives' destinies they allow us to re-vision history. Henry Louis Gates warns that we must not read to understand Africa (and by extension, Native America) through the cultural eyes of Europe and the West. The late Michael Dorris, Native American author and professor at Dartmouth College and husband of Louise Erdrich, takes issue with American history as taught in public schools today. He says:
