How We Go Home: Voices from Indigenous North America by Sara Sinclair
5.0
Very powerful stories, and generally just a great format for non-fiction: hearing folks explain their own lives, in their own terms. Makes me very interested to read other books from the Voice of Witness program.
Nonfiction that is both really heavy (because you learn of the terrible injustices Native people on this continent have suffered) and, remarkably, encouraging (because you learn of people who, despite this historic and current trauma, and achieving great things).
+"The Seventh Generation Prophecy portended a time seven generations after first contact when Indigenous youth and allies would come together to give rise to an age of healing and rebirth for Native people and the continent."
+Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851: the first treaty of the Great Sioux Nation
