This generally was a great book, but not my favourite.

As a blanket statement, this 100% would make a really cool study for students. It covers a history that isn't typically addressed (at least not in southern Ontario), and it's moreso a story of triumph and joy instead of anger and abuse. It's nice to read about native joy as well as the harder truths. I think the only unfortunately thing about this is that it's written by the white man involved instead of one of the native men involved (granted, as stated in the book, all those native men were dead at the point of this being written and having these stories is significantly better than not at all). All in all, super cool portion of Canadian history I was not privy too.

I think the only big thing that threw me off with it was the time skipping. There are points where it jumps around time wise a little bit and gets a tiny bit confusing. One that got my specifically was when talking about an event and then just jumped to how all the people involved died, then back to the story. It was jarring for sure, but aside from that, I don't have a lot that I noticed as being bad per say.

All in all, it's a good read, Witt is a great story teller, and I am glad to know more about this portion of history, and more about Northern Canadian and Native history as well.
