This poetry collection is packed with so much. Evocative poems on cultural appropriation, colonialism, mascots, Lakota culture, two spirit and queer identities, Missing and Murdered Indigenous relatives. Also some cheeky poems too that made me laugh! (I like tacos.) the poem on a treaty-honored world was so powerful, imagining what the world could be like. The collection includes beautiful drawings from a 13 year old (child of the poet)… love that it’s a family affair! 

I love how some of the poems are longer or multi part, so they read Iike short stories. Definitely recommend this poetry collection!
