Gutless
I finished reading a novel called Half-Breed for my humanities class. Its written by a women name Maria Campbell and its essentially a story of her life, not entirely accurate, but close enough to make a point. She's a Metis Women(half native canadian, half european) and she gives you an understanding of what it's like to be Metis. the most intriguing thing i drew from it was how our mainstream soiceities wreckless pursuit of money screwed with her so bad. her values were so different and then, believing she could obtain things of material worth she geos of and pursues wealth in that same wreckless manner. needless to say it ends up putting her in the psych ward of a hospital. a really good book if you want to understand the struggle native people in North America face. i would reccomend it to anyone.
