In Junior’s case (at least, at the beginning of the novel), confidence isn’t exactly a prominent trait in anyone on the reservation. In the first few pages of the novel, he said “I wish I were magical, but I am really just a poor-ass reservation kid living with his poor-ass family on the poor-ass Spokane Indian Reservation” (Alexie 7). To lack confidence is to possess doubt, and doubt is exactly what prevents Spokane Indians from being successful. Throughout the novel, Junior develops a sense of confidence.…
