Alexis at Indigo's Bookshelf noted in their review that we did not include anything about Two-Spirit people. We think we can do that if we have the opportunity.
Dorene (an Ojibwe woman on Facebook) wrote that we said very little about the Ojibwe people. She's right but there's no way we could adapt the original in a way that gave every nation more space. The book is 270 pages in length. There's far more than 270 tribal nations!
As we worked on the adaptation we had conversations about what was possible in terms of coverage. If we focused on the nations with the largest population, or the ones with the largest land base, or the ones that are still on their homelands, how would that impact others?
Still... we're open to your feedback. Do you see errors? We definitely want to correct those! Do you see other places where the existing contents can be improved? Is there something you want us to add? Let us know.
