Ojibwe professor and author Anton Treuer narrates this new edition, revised and updated for a young adult audience. Structured as a collection of questions and answers, this audiobook sheds light on the long history of genocide that colonizers have perpetuated against Native peoples and explains their effects on the lives of Indians in the U.S. and Canada today. Treuer does not shy away from descriptions of violence and the use of racially charged terms but addresses these issues in a calm, compassionate voice. While their encyclopedic nature might be better explored in print rather than listened to straight through, hearing Treuer’s explanations in his own voice brings reality and presence to this work. Excellent for listening episodically; take time to absorb each section before moving on. H.C. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
