I finished reading Making Space for Indigenous Feminism. I learned a lot. A couple of articles were too academia-ese for me to enjoy, but most were excellent and readable. I'll share some of my favorite quotes as I work through them, writing them in my reading journal.

I read about:
The racist and sexist nature of the various iterations of the Indian Act in Canada.
The carceral nature of mental health “care” for Indigenous people, and the harmful nature of white people’s “care” in general for Indigenous people.
The Kafkaesque nature of the child care system, wherein an Indigenous girl is considered vulnerable and in need of protection, until the moment she grows into an Indigenous adult, considered a threat to the next generation of Indigenous girls.
