Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians But Were Afraid to Ask: Young Readers Edition by Anton Treuer

challenging hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

4.0

I enjoyed this. I did the audiobook, read by the author, which I think helped. Some of the word choices, I think, could read negatively; but it is his reading that makes those sections what they are - a fair and even assessment of a question. I appreciated his handling of the various cultures discussed as well as his insightful understanding of the various laws. I am a lawyer, but a novice at "Indian Law" (as the field is usually called). So I knew a good bit of what he was talking about, but learned more. I wonder if the adult version of this book goes into more depth. I also wonder if there isn't a suggested bibliography for additional readings. I'd love to find some great examinations of cultural aspects of ancient and modern life.
