The use of Cherokee myths and stories to parallel this family’s life after they continue to recover from their son being murdered by police brutality is fascinating. Here too, the pain and grief, even 15 years later is palpable— fracturing the lives of the family that was left behind. It’s sad, how much America took away from the indigenous, how the system continues to work against them throughout their lives (in the foster care system, in business, in law, in relationships).
