The continued use of the word “Indian” when referring to the sioux-natives that play a huge part in the book, was quite frankly uncomfortable, however historically accurate it may be. But besides that it was a pretty solid book that explores fragile family dynamics (and dynasties) through the lense of a boy old enough to understand what is going on but not old enough to understand the repercussions. A quick read.
