5 stars

Excellent book.
This collection of essays from Alicia Elliot is both personal and political, using stories from her own family and from the systemic abuse of Indigenous peoples in Canada to paint a picture that all non-Indigenous people in Canada should read for insight into the reality of what is done in our name, not only by the individual racists everywhere but by the laws and structures designed to perpetuate the abuse and exploitation of Indigenous peoples and their land.
