Themes: Sexual Assault

     It is suggested that Josh was sexually abused by a priest in residential school. He then goes on to rape Adelaine, his neice, who aborts the resulting pregnancy. At the end of the novel Jimmy finds out about the rape and kills Josh in a rage.  
A car full of white men torment Erica with threats of sexual assault in Terrace, and when Lisa steps in to protect Erica, the men threaten her. Aunt Trudy explains that because Lisa is native she is seen by society as a slut. Consequently, it is possible that the men could have abducted her off the street and sexually assaulted her.
Near the end on the novel, Lisa's friend Cheese drugs her and assaults her after being rejected by her earlier in the novel. He then tells Frank, who has feelings for Lisa, that it was consensual.
