Thematically layered with a riveting plot. There is *so* much to unpack about race, power, queerness, and much more. I am still reeling after finishing this book!

This is mandatory reading. The situation we are facing with the climate is urgent and this outlines why Indigenous people have to be at the center of climate justice. This also discusses issues that are interconnected with climate justice, such as food insecurity, health, oppression among many axis, and more. It discusses the shortcomings of current attempts (or ideas) for how to address climate justice and why we need to move beyond them.
