Four Souls

I really enjoyed the novel Four Souls, I found the humor in it and plot itself to be a lot more pleasant to read than I expected from a Native American studies class. Something about the novel that drew curiosity within me was the author's choice of tone. She wrote it partially from the Native American perspective and partially from the White man perspective, and omits the voice of some of the characters completely. What do you think her purpose in doing this is?

I feel as though Erdrich did this in order to give insights of the two cultures on simultaneous events. And I feel as though she omitted the voices of two characters in order use them as tools to show how the white man and native american view the mixed relations of their two cultures.
