By the Fire We Carry: The Generations-Long Fight for Justice on Native Land

"Journalist Rebecca Nagle uses a small-town murder and the intricacies of disputed jurisdiction over where it took place as a jumping-off point in this fascinating history of Native American land, the U.S. government’s broken promises and outright theft of said land, and the legal battles fought by Indigenous peoples to reclaim what is theirs. In alternating chapters, Nagle writes about the legal battle that restored nearly 20 million acres of land in Oklahoma to the Muscogee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole and Cherokee nations, and the history that led to that battle’s necessity."
