Decent ideas, very clunky writing.

Perfect for Native American Heritage Month. This book shows how the issues affecting Natives are interconnected, and that they all lead to having their land back. One important thing to note is that even those with the most progressive viewpoints -- and this pertains to non-Indigenous people -- run into the pitfalls of capitalism and white supremacy, which is one reason why Natives have a hesitant relationship with environmental justice organizations. In order to show solidarity, those two exploitative ideologies, not to mention settler colonialism, have to be eradicated.

This is a great read to learn more about what Native Americans have to endure. There’s never any coverage on what’s going on in their everyday lives, so I recommend educating yourselves.

A solid read, but one that truly benefits from engaging with its topics elsewhere, as well. Much of the book, especially the first half, is simultaneously dense with information, yet too brief to unpack more than a couple paragraphs of any given point. (Gilio-Whitaker does provide wonderful bibliography and notes sections, though!) I appreciated the later chapters the most, such as the one on Indigenous women or sacred sites, as these felt the most in-depth and focused.

I learned a lot, especially how much I should still hate the army corps of engineers. 🤣🤷
It's very academic and a slow read.
