Yellow Bird: Oil, Murder, and a Woman's Search for Justice in Indian Country
$20.50 online at Bookshop.org
When Lissa Yellow Bird left prison in 2009, her home on North Dakota's Fort Berthold Indian Reservation had been transformed by the Bakken oil boom: the land unrecognizable, tribal government swayed by corporate interests, and the community hit by violence and addiction. Three years later a young white oil worker, Kristopher KC Clarke, vanished from his reservation worksite. Few people were looking. Sierra Crane Murdoch follows Lissa as she hunts for clues, moving between her tribe, changed by new wealth, and non-Native oilmen down on their luck after the recession. The search is also a pursuit of redemption as Lissa atones for her own crimes and reckons with generations of trauma.
