I tried. I really did. But this read like an academic paper in that it was not written for the average reader. The subject matter is incredibly important, but I wasn't absorbing any of the information because I was too busy trying to decipher every paragraph-long sentence.

This book covers a lot, but is not difficult to get through! The tying together of both indigenous histories and colonizer behavior to the current day was incredibly done. Hearing more personal stories from the DAPL protests was also amazing.

I don’t think I’ll be rating this one, it just doesn’t feel right. But don’t let that dissuade you, this was absolutely fantastic. This book prompts a lot of necessary unlearning not only when it comes to our country’s history with Indian peoples and tribes but also our relationship with nature and the environment. This is an enlightening and also harrowing read that is so informative with threads of hope. It does read like a textbook in its academic and technical nature, it is by no means an easy read, but very important nonetheless.
