Welcome to Litsy!

"The McGirt decision resulted in the largest restoration of tribal land in US history."

Nagle does an amazing job telling you many different stories of Native people, while also explaining how the US government committed genocide on them, mixing history and current court cases to paint a detailed and complex picture of the Muscogee land. The writing is exceptional, very easy to read and understand.
"As long as the grass grows or the water runs"

"Chief Justice Roberts repeated the lies told about the Five Tribes to justify allotment."

As someone who followed not only this case closely but also follows the SCOTUS closely each year I hope that people get that CJ Roberts is an asshole out of this book (while also understanding that Gorsuch was right here but always wrong everywhere else - also a jackass but does good in this area)

"Oil and gas producers don't fight regulation as it comes up; the industry lays the groundwork to ensure future regulation is not possible."

"(Oil &gas industry) Organized (..) laws preempting bans on plastic bags- a petroleum product. As of 2020, fifteen states have banned the banning of plastic bags, while only eight limit their use. "

Asif I needed another reason to always use my tote bags.

Scott Braden worked in the public defender's office at the same time as Lisa and is a citizen of Osage Nation. Seeing how capital punishment worked from the inside solidified his opposition of it. "It really is a crusade on the part of prosecutors and staff to build political careers on the backs of the poor," he told me. "The poor are the ones that get executed. The rich don't get executed."

1 of my top reasons for being anti- execution.

I‘ve started the poetry collection Please Do Not Touch This Exhibit

The author tries to tackle more than 400 years worth of history in about 300 pages, so some of a lot of details are left as a brief sentence or passage but for what is here, I can see that a lot of work and care went into this but a larger piece of me was really interested in learning about about the history of the different indigenous tribes and the meso American groups prior to European colonization a lot more but all in all a good read.
