miajensen563 's review for:

The Right To Be Cold: One Woman's Story of Protecting Her Culture, the Arctic and the Whole Planet by Sheila Watt-Cloutier

3.0

---

[3.5] Very informative and very important, but bogged down by long lists of names, too many acronyms, and lots of bureaucracy (which, admittedly, was probably necessary to the narrative). I found it clipped along beautifully in the first half of every chapter, but would hit a wall midway through. It may be a bit of a slow read, but it's definitely still worth it! The conversation about climate change as a human rights issue, especially one which disproportionately impact First Nations and Inuit peoples, is essential, and this book lays out exactly why.

(I never know how to rate memoirs lol)
