I liked this a lot and I'd love to see this become a series. It reminds me of like [b:Rookie Yearbook One|15794592|Rookie Yearbook One|Tavi Gevinson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1346865753s/15794592.jpg|21516690]... and both remind me of zines. I like the DIY feel of it, but also I kind of wish that this book didn't have Comic Sans in it?? Is that too snobby? Fine.

Font choices aside, this is a cool anthology representing all kinds of American Indian/First Nation voices. Like with any anthology, some of the pieces resonated more with me than others.

I think this is really by Native Americans and for Native Americans--there's not always a lot of effort to explain issues that the average young white reader might not be familiar with. Which on one hand, is fine--I think it's great that there's a book like this that I think will really resonate with young Native American readers. BUT I think a lot of other kids could get more out of this with a little more background information that they might not have gotten from school? IDK. BUT I still think a lot of teens would appreciate the stories/poems in here no matter what?

BUT ALSO I think the cover image and size don't give this book the best appeal... might need to be hand-sold. But it's a good one to have on your radar, if it's not already.
