For me, the most intriguing section was “Game Changers” (Chapter 3) which focused on the development of federal boarding schools for Native American children (prefigured, according to the author, by Sacajewea's travels with the Lewis & Clark expedition.)
The conclusion, “Blue Moons” focusses on a few women in the twentieth century: [[Grace Lee Boggs]] (Chinese American, memoir [Living for Change]) who became an advocate of urban farming & cooperative community in Detroit; Delores Huerta, Mexican American labor activist; and [[Octavia Butler]], African American speculative fiction writer. I think I may be due a reread of her [Parable of the Sower] and [Parable of the Talents]. ( )
