I was really pleased. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A useful addition to your world history bookshelf - but get the print version, not the Kindle *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2021* Overall, a really useful take on North American history from a First Nations perspective.Before I delve into the book itself, I want to add that I bought both the print book AND the Kindle edition. Because of the complex visual layout, the Kindle edition was hard to navigate and I found it impossible to zoom in on the illustrations. So I recommend sticking with the print version for clarity and readability.Now to the book itself.We are Canadians living in Israel, but I believe it's very important for my kids to grow up feeling Canadian and understanding the history of North America, including First Nations history. I read this aloud with my kids (12 and 15) and we found it very helpful as a complement to other areas of history we had already learned about from other parts of the world. Maps and illustrations throughout make it a pleasure to read without dumbing down the content.Much of the history presented is speculative, due to the lack of written records along with artifacts. Therefore, the book also delves a little into how anthropologists piece together what happened long ago, and the text is interwoven well with stories and myths, which are clearly differentiated from the more factual content.The final chapter includes a section of First Nations people who have contributed to modern society, which is unfortunately a little underwhelming. Most are hockey players and musicians, though visual artists and writers are also mentioned. I felt this inadvertently undermined the previous material about the richness and vibrancy of the culture, though I understand why it was included. Perhaps it should have been presented more as, "Despite centuries of oppression, First Nations people have succeeded, undaunted, in making contributions to many areas of society, such as music, sports, art, literature, science, and more."Nevertheless, this is a small hiccup in what is overall a delightful and interesting book. I hope Turtle Island opens the door to further exploration of First Nations history in homeschools, classrooms, and history texts. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Phenomenal book! Poor binding *by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2022* This book is phenomenal! You should absolutely buy it! Just not from Amazon—these copies are extremely poorly bound. The pages come out very easy, especially with daily use. It was mostly the same set of pages, 83-96, that came out in 15 of the 20 copies we purchased, as well as some other pages in a few. Very disappointed. But again, it’s a great book—buy it elsewhere! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/62468231-turtle-island-the-story-of-north-americas-first-people](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/62468231-turtle-island-the-story-of-north-americas-first-people) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
