By the fire we carry : the generations-long fight for justice on native land / Rebecca Nagle.

Nagle, Rebecca, (author.).

Summary:

"A powerful work of reportage and American history in the vein of Caste and How the Word Is Passed 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 '90s that led to a Supreme Court ruling reaffirming Native rights to that land over a century later."-- Provided by publisher.
