Seven Fallen Feathers: Racism, Death, and Hard Truths in a Northern City by Tanya Talaga

4.0

challenging dark emotional informative reflective slow-paced

A truly important story that I am glad I got to learn about. I would not have known a lot of this story about boarding schools and how so many indigenous communities have so many barriers to even a high school education, not to mention all the suspicious deaths that occurred in Thunder Bay in the early 2000s.
