Four Faces of the Moon by Amanda Strong
5.0
This book feels incredibly poignant given the media coverage and conversation regarding Residential Schools.
But for me, this book covered a topic that has specifically haunted me from a young age, which was the slaughter of an estimated 40 million Buffalo. I remember seeing a picture similar to Amanda Strong'sdepiction of a towering pile of buffalo skulls. I'm sure there was some 2 line blurb about it. Or maybe even a whole paragraph. But what I know is that it didn't address the fact that this was an attempt to starve the Indigenous peoples of America and Canada.
This book looks at the history that we aren't shown, and I honestly wish I could go back in time and hand this book to myself.
This book is gorgeous and informational. Strong provides so much knowledge as well as additional resources. I would honestly recommend it to everyone.
