This book is really informative in the native ways of thought and theory. I'm reading it for a native American Literature class and it really is a decolonized lens through the whole book. Everything is cyclical and the timeline is jumbled but in a way the story makes sense and shows growth, place, and time as cyclical. Most of the book I would say is also dedicated to the place, the setting, in that there is strong connections to the land and the place the story occupies. It is a story of resistance healing and love at the end of it all.

A moving and mysterious tale, since if the violence and issues are depressing but they are kicking wrapped in beautiful words like a treasured gift.

Such interesting views of Indigenous religion, eye opening to what colonization has done to Indians but also takes the stance on not treating American Indians like the victims. Really really loved this, it has haunted me for a while.
