This was an incredible, heartbreaking and somehow inspiring book - and I suppose that’s the way Treuer intended it. I was blown away, dismayed and embarrassed reading about the atrocities committed against the indigenous communities of US. And yet Treuer finds a way to juxtapose centuries of massacre, starvation and oppression with the stories of today’s communities that are surviving and thriving. A brilliantly reported, recorded and composed history. So thankful to have read this.
