There are so many characters and separation in the characters stories until the way end that I couldn't remember them all and it was hard to keep track what happened to who. That being said, this contemporary piece was so reflective and eye opening to the individual struggles of natives and even minorities as a whole. I really enjoyed that insight. I also just hated the ending was so vague that <spoiler!!!!!!!!> you can't even tell if half the characters die or not! Ugh.
