Crackity Jones' Discovery Of Alpha Flight

[Crackity Jones]

Are you a tribal member or was just a random book you picked up?

Also, welcome back, don't think we talked much before hand but hope all is well.

No, I am not Indigenous American at all.
But my friend is, and she shared her Amazon booklist with me, and some of the books looked fascinating, so she suggested I get some and we could read them together.
So, while browsing her books, that book up there popped up as a recommendation.
The topic goes quite well with some local volunteer work I will be doing this Fall.
This book was not on her list, but she got a copy and is reading it with me.

It is a research book, complete with footnotes.
When I was in school, the only time we got any solid Native history was in 3rd grade. lol.
So, a lot of this information is new to me.
And it's a harsh and heavy book. It is dense with information, with additional research to back up her research.
It does not read smoothly, and it can be very overwhelming, but I keep on with it.

I am totally okay with talking about this! You did not hijack my thread! I am the one who went off topic.

It's not so much DV amongst natives themselves.
I'll just list here the different topics she researched and discusses (per chapter):

Chpt. 1: Sexual Violence As a Tool of Genocide

Chpt. 2: Boarding School Abuses and the Case for Reparations

Chpt. 3: Rape of the Land

Chpt. 4: The Colonization of Native Womens' Reproductive Health

Chpt. 5: Medical Experimentation in Native Communities

Chpt 6: Spiritual Appropriation as Sexual Violence

Chpt 7: Anticolonial Responses to Gender Violence

Chpt 8: U.S. Empire and the War Against Native Sovereignty

But I would love nothing more than to get any info you are willing to share, if you do not mind me messaging you?
