Interesting read. An overview of American Indian history very much from the perspective of the author, which makes it moving and interesting, particularly since it's a perspective quite rare in media, but definitely not comprehensive or at all unbiased. I particularly liked the stories of real people mixed in to relate historical narratives to the present. Certainly a lot to think on.
Could have done without the fixation on weight as a proxy for health at the end (a 5'5" woman weighing 200 lbs is not at all abnormal my guy) and was disappointed at the almost complete lack of women doing anything of note other than being murdered until the final chapter - seems very unlikely to be the actual case. Would like to supplement with other sources to gain a more complete picture.
