This month we are discussing\, â €œYellow Bird: Oil\, Murder\, and a Woman's Search for Justice in India n Countryâ€ by Sierra Crane Murdoch..\nhttps://pgcmls.libnet.info/eve nt/17482993 X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:

\n< p>"When Lissa Yellow Bird was released from prison in 2009\, she found her home\, the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota\, transformed by the Bakken oil boom. In her absence\, the landscape had been altered b eyond recognition\, her tribal government swayed by corporate interests\, and her community burdened by a surge in violence and addiction. Three yea rs later\, when Lissa learned that a young white oil worker\, Kristopher ' KC' Clarke\, had disappeared from his reservation worksite\, she became pa rticularly concerned. No one knew where Clarke had gone\, and no one but h is mother was actively looking for him. Unfolding like a gritty mystery\, Yellow Bird traces Lissa's steps as she obsessively hunts for clues to Cla rke's disappearance. She navigates two worlds -- that of her own tribe\, c hanged by its newfound wealth\, and that of the non-Native oil workers\, d own on their luck\, who have come to find work on the heels of the economi c recession. Her pursuit becomes an effort at redemption -- an atonement f or her own crimes and a reckoning with generations of trauma. Yellow Bird is both an exquisitely written\, masterfully reported story about a search for justice and a remarkable portrait of a complex woman who is smart\, f unny\, eloquent\, compassionate\, and -- when it serves her cause -- manip ulative. Ultimately\, it is a deep examination of the legacy of systematic violence inflicted on a tribal nation and a tale of extraordinary healing ."&mdash\;From the Catalog.
