Fun and fast moving with Interesting characters. Two big take-aways:
USA governments, industry and corrupt individuals have cheated and lied to Native Americans to take their land--even land we agreed was theirs through treaties and sales. There is no excuse for this!! The solution is not more government bureaucracy, but fast and fair enforcement of the laws that have been violated.
Families are forever. Trying to "protect" people from their real parents and siblings almost always makes a delayed disaster. It is always better to tell people about all of their biological family at the appropriate age, giving whatever warnings are necessary. Sometimes, later generations make peace out of the worst situations. Young people should give thorough thought to planning out a good marriage, and then stay with it for life. It is the greatest gift they can give their family, and the world!
