I probably got less out of this than Wilson-Raybould's first book, but that was largely down to this being a familiar topic, so the first two thirds felt like rehashing history/points of view that I already know. However, this is a really solid look at the history of British colonialism, Canada, and Crown-Indigenous relations. If you're looking for a starter book that sets you up with a solid, easily-understood primer on how we got to where we are, and what to do now, this is a good choice. I really liked the two-strand framing of what needs to be done on a macro scale (both immediate relief for things like clean water and housing, and changing the legal framework to allow self determination within Indigenous nations).

I wish the final section about what to do now had been more detailed/specific, as I'm so often stumped on specific actions. However, the guideline for how to decide if an action adds to reconciliation or not was helpful, and I liked a lot of Wilson-Raybould's examples. She's a very approachable writer.

The whole book is much more centrist/small-c conservative than say Leanne Betasamosake Simpson's writing on the same topic, but I thought it added a valuable point of view.
