This book is really a great look at the different dimensions of the political use of music for American Indian folks, and is an incredible look at the ways that Native folks have navigated federal attempts at assimilation by using music as a political tool to assert sovereignty where they could. I really enjoyed especially the last chapter about specific artists, though the chapter about music education is a great addition to literature about boarding schools. It can occasionally feel like a slog, or maybe that's because I tried to read it in like 10-page bursts before bed when I thought I was awake enough to handle it (hence why it took almost six months for me to finish it...) but otherwise I really enjoyed this book.
