A review by savaging
The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich

4.0

As an offering to ancestors, this is perfect. Really beautiful depiction of various members of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa fighting for continued recognition as a people.

As a novel, there were times I was sort of bored or confused by the narrative lines -- the entire section centered around the 'waterjack' I found particularly baffling. But regardless, the characters are wonderful.
