I am not Indigenous and can therefore not speak to the cultural aspects of this book, nor of the experiences of the characters related to their culture and lives. What I can say is I deeply appreciated the spirituality expressed in the book. I thought it aided the story in great ways.
Overall, I absolutely loved this book. Well-written and exploring, the prose sang on the page to the point I was deeply feeling the same emotions being expressed by the characters. An absolute read-this-now as this book should not be slept on.
