I think this should be a book everybody should read at least one time.
The author gives us a unique perspective with her own story braided with her ancestors teachings.
This is an important topic of discussion that is not being had.
This book highlights what should actually be focused as humanity as a whole in order for us to be able to live on Earth.

Towards the end of the book I was wishing it'd be done already.
I didn't give it a 5 because it did feel dragged on. I struggle with the rating because this book is a gift to humanity.

This book genuinely was life changing. It hurt to read and it was healing to read. It shifted my perspective and opened my eyes. No book has ever made me change my day to day actions like this. No book has ever meant more to me. Thank you Jessie for letting me borrow it and thank you Earth for Jessie. Everybody needs to read this. It’s medicine.

‘I choose joy over despair not bc I have my head in the sand, but bc joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.’

Wow. This book taught me so much about indigenous people’s culture and history as well as American ecology, and as sad as it was at times, it preaches so much hope.

The ‘Windigo Footprints’ chapter should be required reading for every American.
