What is the impact on the reader Erdrich's choice to introduce Henry through Lyman's point of view?

nobody can answer this if you dont show us the shapes

third person

explanation:

note the usage of names and pronouns, "james" & "the old man". this alone can confirm it as third person, as first person uses "i" and the like, while second person uses "you" and the like.
