There are a lot of interesting and valuable perspectives in this book, but I think I would've enjoyed it a great deal more if I'd experienced these interviews directly, maybe via podcast, instead of in print, where I often found it difficult to catch the tone and the rhythm of the speakers' stories and ideas.

I also would've loved to see a map of where the ancestral lands of the speakers lie in Turtle Island, since their perspectives about the land and Mother Earth find anchor in those places. There are also so many resources mentioned in the interviews—speeches, books, documentaries, etc.—that it would've been helpful to have those collected into a Resources or Further Reading section at the end of the book. But I am reading an ARC, so perhaps these things can be found in the final publication.

Overall, I'm grateful for the information shared in this book, and I hope to put a number of its perspectives into practice in my life. I can also think of a few other people who would benefit from exploring these interviews, and I look forward to discussing this with them. ( )
