I read this book to fulfil the goal read a book by an Indigenous author  The United Nations definition:  Indigenous communities, peoples, and nations are those that, having a historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial societies that developed on their territories, To be honest, this book caused a conflict of emotions within me. I didn't particularly enjoy it from an entertainment standpoint, but i did live on the reservation for awhile. So i could recognize the accuracy of the writing and the hopelessness that attends the people who live there and other poor neighborhoods even off the reservation.
