Project 562: Changing the Way We See Native America by Matika Wilbur
5.0
I read this book in bits throughout the summer after deciding early that the book would be my choice for the Indigenous Author square on my library's summer book bingo card.
The reverence Wilbur shows the people she interviews and photographs is beautiful. Every photo made the subject look stunning. She is such a talented photographer. Many stories and photographs were so powerful you couldn't help but tear up. To see the history of America through a Native American lens is a huge gift for us readers. I learned so much and my perspective changed again and again. Highly recommend everyone read it. I hope she continues this work. Special thanks to Seattle Public Libraries for making this a Peak Pick selection, I might not have seen it without it being on that shelf.
