Thursday, November 20, 7:00 pmJoin us to discuss By the Fire We Carry: The Generations-long Fight for Justice on Native Land by Rebecca Nagle. A powerful work of reporting 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 over a century later. You can attend even if you haven't read the book!
