Finished: There There (Orange) Eye-opening and heart-breaking book about a group of current day Native Americans, some related, some not, who all end up converging at the Big Oakland Powwow, after we spend the book reading about their lives, their back stories, their heartbreak, and their hopes for the future. Most of them live in Oakland, have had very tough lives, and are still barely hanging on, which causes some of them to do desperate things. Others of them find out they are actually related to one another in one form or another. Hearing the modern characters telling the stories of their ancestors, usually when relating the horror and oppression to a younger generation, was deeply moving. Great book! Thank you to my son for picking it out for me for Christmas. :-)
