Yellow Bird: Oil, Murder, and a Woman’s Search for Justice in Indian Country by Clarke, Kristopher Murdoch, Sierra Crane Yellow Bird, Lissa

نویسنده: Clarke, Kristopher Murdoch, Sierra Crane Yellow Bird, Lissa

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 beyond recognition, her tribal government swayed by corporate interests, and her community burdened by a surge in violence and addiction.

Three years later, when Lissa learned that a young white oil worker, Kristopher “KC” Clarke, had disappeared from his reservation worksite, she became particularly concerned. No one knew where Clarke had gone, and few people were actively looking for him.

Yellow Birdtraces Lissa’s steps as she obsessively hunts for clues to Clarke’s disappearance. She navigates two worlds–that of her own tribe, changed by its newfound wealth, and that of the non-Native oilmen, down on their luck, who have come to find work on the heels of the economic recession. Her pursuit of Clarke is also a pursuit of redemption, as Lissa atones for her own crimes and reckons with generations of trauma.

Goodreads users review : 

The amount of work both women went through to create this book is awe-inducing. This book revealed history of ND that I had not previously known and painted our landscape beautifully despite the racism that impacted it (the garrison dam). It was surreal to hear names of people, towns, and businesses that I know in such an incredible tale. What a story!
