4.0

Short and sweet read on environmental justice from a Native Nations perspective. Lots of poignant chapters here, and important history parsed throughout, particularly the one about National Parks.

gillianalice's review against another edition

I tried. I really did. But this read like an academic paper in that it was not written for the average reader. The subject matter is incredibly important, but I wasn't absorbing any of the information because I was too busy trying to decipher every paragraph-long sentence.

This book covers a lot, but is not difficult to get through! The tying together of both indigenous histories and colonizer behavior to the current day was incredibly done. Hearing more personal stories from the DAPL protests was also amazing.
