This book covers the history of indigenous peoples and the systematic genocide perpetrated against them. It covers a lot of triggering content, but it does not glorify or linger on it.opinionsofawolf's review against another edition

Overall, even though I had previously taken a course in Native American History (that's what it was called back then, now it would be called Indigenous History), and I had pursued reading about the AIM of the 1970s on my own, I still found information I had not previously known, especially about colonization efforts by the US in the late 20th and early 21st centuries (and still ongoing).
I do think the Epilogue actually belonged at the beginning- I wanted context for who this author was and her relationships with some of the people mentioned in the book. I also think a clear statement about what position she is speaking from would lend greater clarity to the book.
The chapters in the book are not overly long (it took me about 30 minutes to read a chapter) and they deliver a heck of a lot of information in a short amount of time. An eye-opening book.
