How We Go Home: Voices from Indigenous North America by Sara Sinclair

4.0

this book gives so much context to the past and current experiences of native ppl in north america, particularly in canada. the detailed footnotes, glossary & additional essays at the end top it all off (for those who may be begrudgingly unwilling to accept and be skeptical towards these experiences without “evidence” or “research” OR for those who simply want a deeper historical understanding and context for these experiences). i didn’t even realize how much blatant racism existed towards native people in these Canadian territories, although i’m certainly not surprised. storytelling & oral history is an incredibly compelling and valuable method to share and learn from people’s lived experiences. highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to get a glimpse of north american indigenous experiences. the resilience of the featured individuals and the strength they find in community is the common thread that connects each of these individual stories....great read!!!!!
