Profile Image for Miriam Yosef

Good representation, weak writing.

The story offers unique representation as the main character is mixed raced of Acoma Pueblo Native American and Jewish heritage. However, the storyline doesn’t function as a storyline should. It’s not interesting for adults and immensely boring for children.

It also incorrectly refers to American indigenous peoples as “Indians”, a Columbus era term Native Americans have long rejected. Good representation and definitely needed representation but weak execution.
