Thorough history, but the topic is maybe too broad.

Pretty good.

Very hard to read because it's so heartbreaking. But important to read to understand that the US is guilty of bloody and heartless genocide. Reparations are looking overdue. And more people need to be aware what really happened. It wasn't at all what I was taught in elementary school.
