Really liked this one, though this was hard to get into. It started pretty slow, but really picked up and came together in the last quarter or so. In a way, it reminded me of how people on the rez tell stories - there’s a lot of tangents and fragments and you start to wonder if anything is going to get resolved? I loved the anishinaabemowin incorporated in here- and a lot of the other cultural things that I don't see a lot in books, like the beliefs about death, etc.

The characters are compelling, there's humor and emotion, and it's based off some interesting history. In was interesting to read parts of this in the places that the book is talking about (but 70 years later). The water jack scene and the trip to Washington will stick with me.
