pickThis is a great collection of indigenous tribes from all across the modern United States. These poems deal with everything from creation stories to everyday life and Indian boarding schools. The inclusion of people‘s from modern day Alaska and Hawaii was really cool. I also liked that they included LGBTQIA voices from within their communities. There was even one poem dedicated to “Native American two-spirit-identified” (non binary) people.
