Abstract

Louise Erdrich is one of the most prolific, important and successful contemporary native American writers. Love Medicine is her representative work. And it represents the lives of Chippewa Indians in reservation. This paper aims to analyze traditional Indian women’s relationship with nature from the perspective of eco-feminism. Both the Indian women and the living environment in reservation are persecuted by the patriarchy and they are deprived of voice. In men’s eyes, women and the nature are just something inferior and attached to them. However, the Indian women don’t yield. They unite together and make the best use of their close relationship with nature, rebuilding the harmony between men and women, man and nature, thus gaining more freedom and power and elevating their social status.
