Read this collection if you desire to learn more about indigenous experiences that are authentic and poignant. I saved several excerpts while reading because I couldn't bear to forget their stories.

This book was life altering. I highly recommend it to everyone. The editing was spot on, and I've rarely read a collection like this where the order of the pieces was so clearly cultivated to keep the reactions fluid.
LOVED IT. I think this book is deeply important for many reasons- not the least of which is understanding the need for work from Native American authors to be more celebrated. I learned a lot of things that were shocking, compelling, and haunting. You need to read this book.

This was an assigned book I had to read in grad school, which normally would mean I wasn't a fan of it, but this one was better than others. I don't think I would have read it on my own, but I'm glad that I did. A wonderful book of beautiful, important works wrapped in culture and history from Indigenous writers that really opened my eyes and mind to worlds that I otherwise never would have experienced. It's basically an eye-opening collection of works that will break down any assumptions you had, will teach you about any false assumptions you had, and teach you how to empathize.
Do I recommend this book? Absolutely.
Are you white? Read this. Do you want to learn more about Indigenous Americans' history from their persective? Read this.
