April Book Club – Friday: By the Fire We Carry: The Generations-Long Fight for Justice on Native Land

April 18 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

By The Fire We Carry book cover

Join us for our Friday book club meeting on April 18th, at 12:30 PM

Author: Rebecca Nagle

From GoodReads:

A powerful work of reportage and American history that braids the story of the forced removal of Native Americans onto treaty lands in the nation’s earliest days, and a small-town murder in the 1990s that led to a Supreme Court ruling reaffirming Native rights to that land more than a century later. Here Rebecca Nagle recounts the generations-long fight for tribal land and sovereignty in eastern Oklahoma. By chronicling both the contemporary legal battle and historic acts of Indigenous resistance, By the Fire We Carry stands as a landmark work of American history. The story it tells exposes both the wrongs that our nation has committed and the Native-led battle for justice that has shaped our country.
