A review by yogideetz
A Two-Spirit Journey: The Autobiography of a Lesbian Ojibwa-Cree Elder by Ma-Nee Chacaby

challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

3.0

I really, really wanted to enjoy this autobiography. I truly believe the stories shared, the experience and perspective are all really important for any North American to read. Exposure to native and indigenous stories and experiences is the only way we as a society are going to even begin understanding the impact of colonialism on native communities. 

That being said, the actual way the stories and experiences were written just didn't engage me in the way I hoped. It felt rather like reading a historical account of the experiences rather than a first hand account. 

I'd still recommend this book as I believe the more we learn about native and indigenous experiences, the more we can do to uplift and empower change.
