Strange Empire: A Narrative of the Northwest
This book took me forever to get through, but it was really interesting. This was a story I had never heard anything about in all my years of public school in the US, and in Montana. The struggle of the Metis was a different, though similar, sort of struggle than the tribes of the first nations. This book was interesting in many respects, but I thought the writing and perspective were particularly interesting since it was written so long ago.
I definitely have a greater appreciation for my ancestors, though I felt like I could have learned even more about the people, their culture and what's happened since this book was written instead of focusing so much on Louis Riel. Still, a really interesting read but not an easy one, necessarily.
