This is the second time I've read this with my kids. This time, we listened on audio. While I love Laura's writing and her sharing her story with us, Ma and some of the others' views towards indigenous people just churned my stomach. I know this was the way most white people viewed them, but it still bothers me. I had to keep reminding myself that this wasn't a made up book. This is how the author's mom truly felt. We did have a lot of conversations about it though.
