Tiffany Midge's Bury My Heart at Chuck E. Cheese's is a collection of satirical essays skewering American culture's appropriation and misunderstanding of Indigenous peoples. Through sharp humor and cultural criticism, Midge takes aim at everything from Thanksgiving myths to New Age appropriation. The book becomes both hilarious and cutting, proving that Indigenous humor is a form of resistance and that laughing at absurdity doesn't mean the pain isn't real.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Midge uses humor as a weapon against cultural appropriation and willful ignorance. This collection reminds us that Indigenous writers don't owe anyone solemnity, that satire can be devastating, and that the title alone tells you everything about how Indigenous people navigate American culture.
