interesting but more memoir than history which i was expecting and kinda slow and reads like it was written for 8th graders but like not in a bad way just not my vibe rn

a really lovely, nuanced reflection on what it is to be part native. somehow, infinitely more readable than “thinning blood.”

DJ Taffa chronicles her own heartbreaking, deeply touching story while organically weaving elements of Native American history.  Her prose is so melancholic you can’t help but to feel all the feels.
