Abstract

In examining this volume, I came to realize very quickly that Valaskakis is following the style of a traditional North American Indigenous person whom we are meeting for the first time. By way of introduction, she speaks about her family and family life, in a narrative style, in chapter 1. She finishes the book by going full circle and returning to how we are "all related."
