Description

By the Fire We Carry: The Generations-Long Fight for Justice on Native Land by Rebecca Nagle is an illuminating work that intertwines the harrowing history of Native American dislocation with a contemporary struggle for justice. Hailed as 'breathtaking' by Noreen Masud, this essential read serves as both an investigative journey and a compelling narrative.

This book explores two significant narratives: the forced exile of Native Americans from their lands in the early years of America and a pivotal murder case from the 1990s that sparked a landmark Supreme Court decision. This ruling reaffirmed Native rights to their ancestral lands after decades of erosion and neglect.

Key features of this gripping account include:

  • A thorough exploration of over 55 million acres of American Indian reservations, highlighting the land injustices faced by Indigenous peoples.
  • In-depth research praised by historians such as Caroline Dodds Pennock, ensuring a robust understanding of historical and contemporary issues.
  • A narrative woven with legal battles that illustrates the ongoing fight for sovereignty and recognition.

The book delves deep into the history of the Muscogee people's forced relocation in the 1830s and follows the legal fight that culminated in the 2020 Supreme Court ruling, reinforcing the existence of multiple reservations in Oklahoma. This powerful narrative sheds light on the resilience of Indigenous communities and their unwavering pursuit of justice.

Delve into the pages of By the Fire We Carry and understand the complex layers of American history that continue to resonate today.
