This book was really informative & provided a really well rounded history of indigenous people in the United States. This book touches on so many things that don't get taught or talked about. I listened to the audio & the narrator Laural Merlington was very good!

This book was rough to get through, but it had more to do with the heaviness of the topic. Just when I thought I was well informed of the terrible history of this country, I learned even newer things that shouldn't have surprised me as they did. It was very informative though, and I highly recommend reading it, though I also encourage people to take breaks in between chapters.
