challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

This is a must read for anyone who calls themself an Ally of the First Nations, Métis & Inuit peoples.  Clayton paints a brutal picture of what life is like as an Indigenous male trying to survive a colonialist society. It is oddly inspiring.
