We are thrilled and honored to announce that WHISKEY TENDER by Deborah Jackson Taffa has been longlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction!

Born on the California Yuma reservation and raised in Navajo territory in New Mexico by parents determined to assimilate, Deborah Jackson Taffa explores her family’s history of displacement within the United States and considers how she came to understand and claim her mixed-tribe Native identity. Whiskey Tender traces Taffa’s adolescence on and off the reservation in a moving excavation of her family’s history; the long legacy of erasure, violence, and injustice faced by Native peoples; and finding a balance between two cultural landscapes.

BY THE FIRE WE CARRY by Rebecca Nagle is on sale today! From the host of the This Land podcast comes a powerful work of reportage and American history that braids the story of the forced removal of Native Americans onto treaty lands in the nation’s earliest days, and a small-town murder in the 1990s that led to a Supreme Court ruling reaffirming Native rights to that land more than a century later.

Tiya Miles, author of All That She Carried and Ties That Bind, says “In a fiery account as chilling as a legal thriller, Rebecca Nagle lays bare centuries of injustice in Oklahoma and the southeastern lands from which the American government exiled her ancestors and thousands of other Indigenous peoples. By the Fire We Carry is a clear and courageous call for justice.”

Available now in hardcover, digital audio, and ebook wherever books are sold!
