Man, what a great read. The story was incredible, and I found myself thinking about it throughout the day. Also a nice introduction to indigenous culture of the Great Lakes region, with some thought provoking commentary on the history and remnants of racism and oppression of native peoples. It’s YA, but so sophisticated and well-done. Would love to read more by this author.
