- The stories in THE BEADWORKERS are told in a variety of formats, covering a variety of facets of Indigenous life.
- Even the shortest pieces and the pieces from the point of view of children felt whole and detailed.
- These stories detail the ongoing colonization of and violence against Native people, while also showing readers how alive and vibrant their cultures are today.
- The longest piece in the book is written as a play - a retelling of Antigone - and it alone is worth getting this book.
