This book is really informative in the native ways of thought and theory. I'm reading it for a native American Literature class and it really is a decolonized lens through the whole book. Everything is cyclical and the timeline is jumbled but in a way the story makes sense and shows growth, place, and time as cyclical. Most of the book I would say is also dedicated to the place, the setting, in that there is strong connections to the land and the place the story occupies. It is a story of resistance healing and love at the end of it all.
