Personal and Historical

I appreciated all that the women shared regarding their Native history, culture, what it was like to live as they did and how things have changed-for better or worse. The editor did a sensitive and intelligent job of bringing out the uniqueness of each women's story. I spent last summer up north and this gave even more color to what was already, for me, a trip never to be forgotten.
