A Native American review of the book... would you still purchase the book for your collection?

I came across this while reviewing the Ministry resources...

"Keepers of the Morning Star: An Anthology of Native Women's Theater showcases the exciting range of Native women's theater today from the dynamic fusion of storytelling, ceremony, music, and dance to the bold experimentation of poetic stream-of-consciousness and Native agit-prop. While negotiating complex issues, including family, community, repatriation, sovereignty, urban relocation, and cultural and spiritual appropriation, this collection celebrates the enduring power of Native women's traditions to heal and transform."

A positive and interesting review of the play "SongCatcher: A Native Interpretation of the Story of Frances Densmore." in this collection can be found at American Indians in Children's literature.
