I'm not sure this book is meant for me, as I was already familiar with most of the topics and events discussed in it, but this is a good introduction/overview of the history and experiences of Indigenous North Americans (if I can paint it in such broad strokes) since the beginning of White colonialism. The narrator's sarcastic sense of humour helps make very difficult topics somewhat more accessible, and it's a good reminder of the history behind racist policies and attitudes today.
