This is a really thought provoking and profound mix of memoir, family history, the legacy of trauma, and examination of racism embedded in so many aspsects of our collective histories. The author is a descendent of Jewish immigrants who feld pogroms in Eastern Europe to the United States, only to displace the Lakota through homestead land grants. Clarren grapples with her family's complicity in this violent erasure and raises larger, deeper questions about land ownership, indigenity, and who belongs to the land, as well as how we reconcile and repair harm done by our ancestors. A timely and important read, this is important and compelling. I strongly recommend.
