Acerca de esta escucha

“Rebecca Nagle gives a clear and compelling narration of her look into how a small-town murder in the Muscogee Nation led to a significant 2020 Supreme Court case—and the largest restoration of Native tribal land in American history. . . . An illuminating listen.” — AudioFile

""Impeccably researched. . . . A fascinating book and an important one.” Washington Post

“[A] brilliant, kaleidoscopic debut. . . . Nagle’s narrative is lucid and moving. . . . A showstopper.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review

Most Anticipated Book of the Fall: Washington Post, People, Los Angeles Times, Parade, Bustle, Book Riot

A powerful work of reportage 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 more than a century later

Before 2020, American Indian reservations made up roughly 55 million acres of land in the United States. Nearly 200 million acres are reserved for National Forests—in the emergence of this great nation, our government set aside more land for trees than for Indigenous peoples.

In the 1830s Muscogee people were rounded up by the US military at gunpoint and forced into exile halfway across the continent. At the time, they were promised this new land would be theirs for as long as the grass grew and the waters ran. But that promise was not kept. When Oklahoma was created on top of Muscogee land, the new state claimed their reservation no longer existed. Over a century later, a Muscogee citizen was sentenced to death for murdering another Muscogee citizen on tribal land. His defense attorneys argued the murder occurred on the reservation of his tribe, and therefore Oklahoma didn’t have the jurisdiction to execute him. Oklahoma asserted that the reservation no longer existed. In the summer of 2020, the Supreme Court settled the dispute. Its ruling that would ultimately underpin multiple reservations covering almost half the land in Oklahoma, including Nagle’s own Cherokee Nation.

Here Rebecca Nagle recounts the generations-long fight for tribal land and sovereignty in eastern Oklahoma. By chronicling both the contemporary legal battle and historic acts of Indigenous resistance, By the Fire We Carry stands as a landmark work of American history. The story it tells exposes both the wrongs that our nation has committed and the Native-led battle for justice that has shaped our country.

The Truth

I found the author’s use of moving between Supreme Court Rulings and American history to be incredibly effective.

Amazing book

Nagle approaches difficult topics with clear eyes and a sense of complexity. She works hard to lay out the history of the US, Oklahoma, the tribes, and her own family. Highly recommend.

Bravo!

The information in this book left me reeling. I have known since I was a teen that I was a Choctaw decendant, but only as an adult did I obtain my Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood and keep contact with the tribe. I have grown more and more curious as I age about my heritage, and the atrocities that European Americans imposed on the indigenous people who were here long before they arrived. I am also happy to see her hold the tribes accountable for their own mistakes. It is shameful and disgusting that politicians still think so little of the people that were trampled on, abused, and stolen from in the making of America. What a hypocrisy.

Truth

Loved hearing the native side of the history. History is written by the victors and this book tells the other side which is painful to hear but necessary.

Educational

This book taught me about so many events impacting first nations individuals, events I should have known about that I definitely did not. The stories did a good job of telling the facts in a way that made me not only aware of their existence but also allowed me to feel anger, frustration and sadness in regards to these injustices past and present.

By the Fire we Carry

I thought I was informed about what the Indigenous people had endured. I am overwhelmed by the disservice of all the Indigenous peoples that our government has bestowed upon them. Thanks for all the research and invaluable information.
