Chacaby doesn't dwell on the horrible things that happened to her. She's very matter of fact. I would tag most of the content warnings as "Minor," but some occur with such frequency that I bumped them up to "Moderate" or "Graphic."lanid's review against another edition

SIDSaus10england's review against another edition
5.0
It hit on all levels, such an eye-opening, inspiring, reflective, and deeply personal read. The authors really did the subject’s stories justice. Ma-nee has lived many, many lives, and the world is lucky to have this published work to live on forever.
I appreciated the afterwords of this book, that explained how the publication came to be, since the subject of the memoir has vision issues that would make writing a book from start to finish difficult. So much went into it, and it made me appreciate the book even more.
Overall, this book is severely overlooked, and should be read by anybody who wants to better understand native (queer) identities and culture.
