I remember reading a little about McGirt v. Oklahoma when the decision first appeared in the news, but I didn't have much of an idea about its importance, much less any familiarity with the background context. Such has been the case in general with my personal knowledge of Native American history - a near-failure on the part of my education that I've been trying to make up as best as I can on my own ever-since. So to say the very least, I found Rebecca Nagle's "By the Fire We Carry" to be a wonderfully informative read on numerous levels - not to mention a painfully informative read at numerous levels too, but how could it not be, given the subject matter? This is definitely a candidate for my library's to-purchase list, as I would love to see this in my indigenous history section.
