This week, we talk to Native journalist Rebecca Nagle about her new book, By the Fire We Carry: The Generations-Long Fight for Justice on Native Land. The book goes back and forth between the history of Native displacement in the United States and a recent Supreme Court decision that rectifies some of the sins of that displacement.

This episode was produced by Christina Cala, edited by Courtney Stein and engineered by Josephine Nyounai.
