emotional fast-paced

I wasn't a huge fan of all the stories — some of the short poems in particular just weren't my cup of tea — but it was a solid collection and notable for the fact that it was written and drawn by Native American authors and artists. Each contributor also gets a short biography in the back, which was great for giving me a list of other books and comics I can look into.

This volume is EXTREMELY vital to read. It's a collection of short stories & poems from 1880-1920 written by indigenous peoples that were adapted & illustrated by modern day indigenous people. What's even more impressive than the messages and stories and truths, are all of the authors and artists bios at the end. I want a full book just about the FIFTY TWO people involved in outting this volume together. Their collective creative and civil rights work between them is astounding.
