Both developed and developing countries face issues regarding the safety and security of water sources (Anuar, 2012; Moe, 1991). Poor water quality and quantity has been one of the main contributors to human health related illnesses in developing countries (Moe, 1991).

In her novel Tracks, Erdrich portrays the twentieth-century Native American life especially that of Ojibwa in and around Turtle Mountain Reservation in North Dakota. All the characters in the novel are in a midst of struggling. They are between life and death, home and exile, native and white identity and mixed breed.

One such difficulty involves the character, Justin Scott, a white man, who oversteps his welcome in the reservation and attempts to drastically change the ways of the Anishinaabe community.
