Ma says dozens of times that "the only good Indian is a dead Indian". I'd say that counts as hate lol, especially when you're saying that illegally squatting on treaty land

Marilla was a product of her time. The only bit where it's really egregious is when she's trying to decide if ruined food is good enough for the French farm hand and the pigs

They weren't aware of illegally squatting until some US soldiers told em. Pa was more open minded. I need to go back and re-read it. Yeah I agree with that, Matthew was the keeps to himself friendly guy we all need in life.

Definitely do a reread, there's so much stuff that you notice as an adult. In Happy Golden Years Mr &Mrs Boast (the lovely young couple they spend the winter with in Shores of Crystal Lake) flat out tries to buy their baby

Someday I'm going to splurge on Pioneer Girl and get the full story
