This 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.

This is a far more accurate version of this song. We should teach children this version, sit proudly where they sing these truths, and just maybe things will get a little better.

I didn‘t notice before that this is a Norton Anthology. This bad boy is going to keep me in poetry for quite a while.
