  • I'm half Indian if you haven't figured that out from my user name. My tribe doesn't live on a reservation, but they might as well. I don't live there but I've been there and I only know of 3 people who have gotten out and they are my mom's parents and her cousin. This man is incredible to have left and to have become something wonderful, to not have just become ordinary. What a hero; I almost cried! :')

  • That was an awesome book
