An unusual collection of interviews containing stories and memories passed down to younger generations about the years of the “Long Walk” during which the US Government purposefully consolidated and in effect almost wiped out the Navajo people. An important part of America’s history and simultaneously a singular glimpse into the psyche of an entire nation.

Physically a beautiful book, with a teal hardcover and exceptional illustrations both on the cover and throughout. It’s admirable the amount of work that went into this anthology. Most of the stories were the same, however. I felt like I could have read 3-5 of the longer pieces and been satisfied.

Very sad and heartbreaking read. A wonderful collection of oral stories captured and put in a book, especially a history that many should read about.
