Hi, I'm native (mi'kmaw) and my friend recently recommended me "There There" by Tommy Orange. It was nice to read a book from many native perspectives, but it was very sad and I related very closely to it, which made it a depressing read.

I would just like to read a book where characters are native but it isn't the main focus of the story (which is usually the root of the sadness).

Thank you in advance!

First of all, it is NOT Good Morning Baltimore from Hairspray.

When I was younger, I was in a theatre program where we performed a medley of songs from musicals that I didn’t really know, but one of them had a lyric like

“___, ___, and Baltimore” I think. Like a list of places.

For some reason it reminds me of cleaning but I don’t know why, maybe there is a lyric like that??? 😭 but maybe not. It was a long time ago

I do not know when the song was released, it was from a musical so it could basically be any time.
