<<< 2024 Review >>>
Third re-read of the year. Again so so so glad I picked this book up again! I remembered a lot of stories, but also felt like I could relate to the wisdom in new ways I did not consider before. Please people, go read your favorite books again :)
A longer review will hopefully follow some time.

F*ck you, my ancestors! How could you mess up this world with your misplaced values so much?
Indigenous wisdom makes a million times more sense. For the people and the planet. Why did exploitation, competition, and hatred have to win?
So sad.
This wonderful book shows a perspective on how the world could have looked like without the genocide against the Native Americans and without the rise of individualistic and capitalistic values.
Just beautiful.
It also gives advice for how we can rethink our relationship with the living and non-living beings around us. I believe a better world is possible, I just don't know how to get there exactly.
