Reading about history from the perspective of the “sufferer” is a sad, intensely infuriating exercise that just further explains the danger and effects of colonialism. The white man and their attempt to essentially eradicate the indigenous peoples while pillaging and robbing them of their land, language, communities and identity is so important for everyone to learn. This book was simple, direct and straight to the point. A sobering look at how many native peoples and communities are struggling to maintain their sense of community, pride and well being. 
Highly recommended read for all!
