challenging informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

Though I'm not as familiar with the subject matter as I'd like, I think this book does a really great job showing us a variety of perspectives from the Dene people and telling us their stories. 
This book, like Sacco's other books, is very narration heavy, with lots of small print in small boxes that can often be hard to read and absorb, I often find myself reading one page over and over. However, overall, I am glad to have read it.
