5.0 out of 5 stars Important. Noteworthy. A must-read.

Very interesting reading. It reveals much about the Native Americans/First Nations experience in trying to maintain their cultures and rights in the face of government opposition. I highly recommend that every high school student read this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Didn't finish it.

I was hoping for more. I didn't finish it. It gets repetitive and is too skewed and self serving to be a reliable primary historical document.
