Can’t wait for the series to come out. Just finished reading the book.
I am halfway through the book and can’t wait for the series to come out. I applaud the Obamas for choosing this story. I have friends amongst the Saginaw band so it means a lot to me and will hopefully help to throw some light on Native American life.
