"As an avid birder, I was immediately drawn to this refreshing and well-written memoir and since I also enjoy reading Native American literature, along with Native history, this made the perfect package. It covers fifty years of the author’s life, touching on the birds he has seen in his life, along with many unsettling injustices that have marred the Indian over the centuries.The joy and the pain balance itself out in the strong, no-nonsense narrative. Highly recommended. "
