It is a very interesting read to learn more of North American indigenous groups, policy, history, culture, land, and more change over centuries. Yet, not in a good way and one that does not benefit everyone. However, do to my limited Canadian indigenous history, and nothing of American, it was very difficult to follow. I loved looking at the different regulations and policy instruments to residential schools and what media has done about indigenous communities and cultures. Yet, viewed the book as mesh of trying to put a lot in one book within two nations. As a result, I have had to Google a lot and try to remember names, events, regulations and more. With that being said, this is well researched book that should be taught in schools and universities.
