Join award-winning authors Rebecca Clarren and Leah Myers in discussion of their latest books The Cost of Free Land and Thinning Blood: A Memoir of Family, Myth, and Identity. Clarren discusses the history of her Jewish ancestors’ land in South Dakota and documents the theft of that land from the Lakota, who were forced off the territory by the U.S government. In Thinning Blood, Myers chronicles the history of her family line through four generations of Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe women, now that she may be the very last S’Kallam in her family due to her tribe’s blood quantum laws.
