This book shines a spotlight on the achievements of native (American) people, giving a brief bio and highlighting what, how and why, they did what they did. Sometimes their work was community based, for example, working to conserve specific skills, language and cultural heritage. This book also provides an historical backdrop, giving the reader context, and an insight into how these people's stories have been misrepresented, hidden and deliberately erased. I was stunned at how little I knew and am determined to find out more. This book does a great job at forcing you to think and re-think what you know about native (American) people.
