What Was Said to Me: The Life of Sti'tum'atul'wut, a Cowichan Woman by Ruby Peter
5.0
I received an electronic ARC of this book via NetGalley.
It feels strange to assign a star value and write a review for this book. It is a printed form of an oral history, and is alive with Sti'tum'atul'wut's voice--it is very easy to imagine being told the story verbally while reading it.
It's worth reading, and it's absolutely fascinating. I'm glad that she shared her story, and that the story is being shared with the world at large through the medium of this book. But assigning a rating is rather like rating someone's lived experience, and that feels strange.
