as, declaring how brutally oppressive a majority of the Act’s were towards aboriginals.

With the help of strategically used humour, personal stories and monotonous listing, King aids the reader in viewing his perspective of the social issue. Coming from native descent, the novel can spark memories and stories that have been passed down through generations. The book might…
