Louise Erdrich’s “Love Medicine” and the Moral issues of
Truthfulness in Personal Identity
This 7 page report discusses
“Love Medicine” and the moral issues associated with
understanding the truth about one’s personal identity. The
families in the book are steeped in two cultural traditions: the
Chippewa culture of their ancestors and the Western traditions
brought by Catholic missionaries who wee determined to
“civilize” the tribe. Both of these ways of thinking present
contradictory messages of power and place for the characters
Erdrich portrays and causes the individuals to develop identities
apart from what is truthfully their nature. Bibliography lists 3
sources.
