Review Quotes:
It's a sobering book, a beautiful, powerful, reverent tribute to Indigenous victims of violence, for (and from) those who are left without them. Reading and discussing REDress can be a powerful experience for older teens and adults. We urge librarians, high school teachers, and arts educators to order multiple copies and share them widely. Highly Recommended.
