The Mourning Road to Thanksgiving | Larry Spotted Crow Mann
Pickpick

This book reminds me of a Native American take on the movie Christmas Vacation. Less silly... but it still had those campy, over-the-top vibes. The protagonist did some things that I disagree with, such as wanting to end the celebration of Thanksgiving.

I'm part Native American (mostly Cherokee) and have been learning more about indigenous peoples & cultures. I appreciate this book for approaching serious subjects with education and engagement!

dewbertb I finished this book back in early December, but I've been procrastinating about writing the review 😉 1w
