NYT Notable Books 2022: 39/100

This was a really dense, but interesting book. There's a lot of content to absorb, but it's interesting and varied. I appreciated that Hämäläinen didn't just focus on the United States, and that Canadian Indigenous history was also covered in good detail. I knew some of what was covered going in, but not a whole lot, and certainly not to the level of detail that was included. I also appreciated learning the context of things that I didn't know before, like the Battle of Wounded Knee. My biggest gripe is some of the audiobook pronunciations. I know the intention was to pronounce names as close to the tribal pronunciations as possible, but I've never heard Métis pronounced as muh-teece, so it took me a second to realize the author meant Métis.
