This eye-opening novel is told in linked stories about different urban Indians in Oakland, California whose lives come together at a modern day pow wow. With a unique writing style, the author does a good job of educating the reader about the past history of the struggle of Native Americans. The pow wow becomes the centerpiece of the story with 12 characters gradually revealing their relationships with one another. This debut novel is brutal, honest, sad, powerful, and definitely worth reading.
