“The reservation arched its back, opened its mouth, and drank deep because the music tasted so familiar” (Alexie 24). Alexie mentions unidentified voices many a times throughout the narrative, suggesting that the reservation itself was the voice, collective or individual. He simultaneously challenges the concept of a center, suggesting it is merely a part of Indian identity rather than a location of culture. Alexie re-writes the image of the reservation; it becomes less of a space limited by boundary constraints associated with the reservation, and becomes a center of a living, moving collective space.
