[Brianna Bowman · Rating 5 out of 5]

A goal I have this year is to read more stories by Alaska authors, and also make sure to read a variety of voices under that umbrella. I really enjoyed this anthology, and familiarizing myself with Native Alaskan authors, playwrights, and poets. Some of their perspectives really impacted me and has helped me develop a more full understanding of Native Alaskans' world view and how white settlement and colonialism affects them today.
