A review by johnsj01
Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange

4.0

Another great book connecting generations together. It highlights the continuing trauma of the history of indigenous peoples of the United States and how culture, languages and families were erased. But indigenous people live on.
576 federally recognized tribes and 400 unrecognized tribes. 400.
"About having grown up in a place, having called a place my home without knowing anything about its Native people, who'd lived there for thousands of years. How could I have called it home without knowing who'd really lived there, from whom the land had been taken?"

I live on Menominee land in a city that was named after the Chief.

*of course I didn't realize this was a prequel / sequel to the book There, There which I have not read yet.
