I want to preface by saying I’m not Indigenous. I can’t speak on the info about the tribes that were discussed in this book. I will say that for a middle grade book focusing on identity and finding where you belong, I think this is a good intro to those who are trying to unlearn some more harmful tales they may have been told about Native Americans. I do think some plot points could have been edited better and there is a death that occurs that I wasn’t entirely sure should have happened but nonetheless I’m glad to see more own voice authors being able to publish their work for us to read.
