There There

There There by Tommy Orange, 290 pages.
Through the efforts of a lot of people the Big Oakland Powwow is coming. The characters in Orange's first novel, interrelated in a bunch of different ways, all have their own reasons for heading to A's stadium to participate in this event. Jacquie Red Feather and her younger sister, Viola Victoria Bear Shield, are at the nexus of the novel, and we follow their lives, and the lives of their friends and family, back and forward to see where they have been and where they are going.
Orvil Red Feather and his brothers Loother and Lony live with their grandmother's sister and learn about Native culture from Youtube videos. Tony Loneman struggles with the way people perceive his off-kilter features and the actions he takes. Blue and Edwin both have worked hard to get the Powwow off the ground and they both make unexpected connections there.
A really good book with a few minor flaws; for instance I don't think that 3D printed guns without metal parts are currently capable of semi-auto fire.The book flows along nicely, but the cast of characters in this engaging novel are the best part.
