A very good read about life on Indian Reservations. The author grew up on MN reservations and talked primarily about those but also mentioned some others in CA, OK, SD & WI. Interesting read about some of the history of these and the treaties signed forming them. Also about the rights and problems with rights on the reservations. Basically just awful in most places until recently when casinos were started on some reservations but still a lot of poverty and issues that go with poverty in many of the reservations. It was hard reading about lots of the lives and their struggles. Book was written in 2012 but not sure much has changed on many reservations since then.
There are 3 WL for this book but like I have said before--have enough credits right now so no hurry to mail it off yet.
