Whiskey Tender by Deborah Taffa

emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.25

a compelling memoir that explores the personal accounts of the author and her family, with a weaving of relevant historical events, giving the reader a chance to comprehend the practical impacts of the racism and oppression inflicted on Native communities. it’s a meditation on the push and pull of assimilation, the reckoning of indifference, but also the power of family and culture, and how necessary it is for us to be educated on the realities of the harm that white people have inflicted, and continue to inflict, on Indigenous communities
