I like how this book is organized to be a ready reference to common questions people have. I knew a majority of the facts in this book, so I found the kinds of questions that people have asked the author and other indigenous people are truly outrageous. It is awful that widespread ignorance necessitates a book like this, but I'm glad it exists for those who need it.
There were times in the book where I felt the author was engaging in respectability politics, for example, when he uses the phrase "culture of poverty."
