essential reading. it's really a shame that the women in the book are so one-dimensional and objectified by the protagonist. but i really identify with the critical analysis of the "red power" movement by the protagonist, tommy/slash, and that's where the book really shines. the story follows the timeline of Indigenous rights movements in the 70s and 80s in what is now called Canada and the United States. so despite the misogynist treatment of women in this novel, it is essential reading. readers must listen to Slash's analysis while recognizing their own standpoint. we are not Slash, he is a story-teller and we are listening from our position in the present. we have a responsibility to respond to this information in our own way and with good intentions.
