I was shown Once Were Warriors in high school. I remember it as a powerful movie, bought a copy of the book, and was so excited when Temura Morrison was cast in Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

Am I misremembering #OnceWereWarriors that, in the book, the special thing Jake did when he got his dole, was buy kina for his wife?
