The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America by Thomas King

4.0

I love history and I love witty writing, the two main components of this book. The book also provides an overview of native history, native policy, the current condition of native peoples in North America, and lots of discussion on how best to learn from our mistakes and move forward.

This is an insightful book that encourages the reader to consider both sides of the stories we have come to believe as truth between native and non-native peoples in North America (i.e. loved the section on Captain John Smith and Pocahontas - when they supposedly met he was 27 and she was 10). Great book, highly recommend!
