I would say the two biggest CWs/TWs to be aware of are drug abuse/addiction and rape/sexual harassment

A great introduction to Native culture and a bone gripping story about community and what tears it apart. This story brought tears and fury, as you follow the same path as Daunis- keeping you on your toes as much as she is- and feeling the same betrayal she does. It gave great insight to what tribal communities are like- both as an insider and as an outsider, as well as the injustice of the world even when you try your best to protect yourself. There were many times I just wanted to hug Daunis. Highly recommend listening to the audiobook version (I switched 100 pages in) to get the impact of language.
