Amazing Native Lit for young people!

Wow had such an amazing experience reading this with my 5th and 7th grader, they are in a such a beautiful time of truth telling. I remember as kid the botched teaching of Native history in schools was abhorrent! This author does a masterful job of weaving together sometimes difficult to read subjects. Really impressive writing. Saw the one other review on here and don't really understand where the negativity is coming from since he starts off the book with his family history? He seems like a really interesting and probably cutting edge artist so that kind of jealousy and negativity kind of comes with the territory in that field i guess. No shortage of people wishing they were in his position i'm sure... I wouldn't let the negativity sway you away from this one, this book completely blew me and my kids away and I've been sharing with everyone I can!
