The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee: Native America from 1890 to the Present by David Treuer

informative sad slow-paced

4.0

The whole history of native Americans is devastating and necessary to learn. My heart broke repeatedly and the shame was real. It’s important everyone reads and learns this history so reparations can actually happen and we can move forward. Maybe. Highly recommend to learn history that was skipped in school.
