It is a very interesting read to learn more of North American indigenous groups, policy, history, culture, land, and more change over centuries. Yet, not in a good way and one that does not benefit everyone. However, do to my limited Canadian indigenous history, and nothing of American, it was very difficult to follow. I loved looking at the different regulations and policy instruments to residential schools and what media has done about indigenous communities and cultures. Yet, viewed the book as mesh of trying to put a lot in one book within two nations. As a result, I have had to Google a lot and try to remember names, events, regulations and more. With that being said, this is well researched book that should be taught in schools and universities.

I enjoy educational commentary books such as this. I learned so much information that I had never even heard of about white and Native American relations. I understood that whites stole their land, but this book goes into further depth on the exact corrupt methods with which white politicians did this in the 18th century and how they are still doing this today. The arguments have ample evidence and sparked a lot of thought on what individual accounts must sound like. Definitely would recommend to my fellow North Americans.

Great introductory book for those looking to learn more about Indigenous-Settler relations. King’s tone is very unique and humorous, and makes for an enjoyable read.

If you live anywhere in the Americas and are not part of a First Nation, you need to read this.

Genuinely laughed out loud multiple times. Also let’s be real it’s an audiobook so I probably missed 30% while I was angry in traffic so will probably have to reread at some point.
