Absolutely adored reading this collection of short stories! Felt familiar to a lot of stories I hear on my reservation from elders and calls back to a time now lost when most Indigenous communities began to adapt to Western society. There was a great variety of stories which covered topics of stereotypes, racism, classism, and general relationships between those off and on the reservation. Silas shares his beliefs and view on the world around him with the audience with that famous native humor which I appreciated. This book made me laugh and reflect on how Indigenous communities had to adapt to the changing world around them.
