A very interesting biography of a singular musician, songwriter, and activist. It's definitely authorized - the lack of critical distance made me a bit uncomfortable and I felt like it lacked context or sense of place. The biography really came alive when discussing her work as an activist and teacher. There's also quite a bit about First Nation music and Indigenous rights.

My review copy lacked photos and the intro by Joni Mitchell which would have been great to read. That might have provided some of the context I was looking for.
