I love the ideas and stories in this book. It's sort of an anthology with a collection of different essays written by different indigenous women. There were several different indigenous perspectives in this collection - all with different styles of writing. So some of the chapters - especially near the beginning - were a bit too academic, and I struggled to understand what the authors were saying at times. I mean, I'm a lawyer and found some of the words and sentence structures complicated and confusing! But most of the essays and stories were very powerful and poignant, and the collection seemed to get less formal as it went on (which was a plus).
I probably would have structured the book differently - perhaps interspersing the poems and pictures throughout the book instead of having them at the end.
Content-wise, there's a lot of overlap in the essays, but also some disagreement and different viewpoints on topics. Many of the stories are sad, but there's also some hope here. Things today are very far from perfect, but at least some people are paying attention now? I hope I can raise my children in a world that doesn't hate them.
