The Heirs of Columbus by Gerald Vizenor
3.0

So I will say going into this that it took me like 2 months to finish this book because I got behind on other reading, so on top of it being a kind of magical realism-style that I already find confusing (but not a turn off!) I was confused. This is a book I would have loved to read in a class, as I just don't feel smart enough to approach everything that's going on in it--the conversations around blood quantum are like on a level I can't even approach, and the NAGPRA conversation. There's SO MUCH packed into this little book, and I really feel like I barely scratched the surface in my reading, but I'd need a reading buddy to get more out of it.
