"Shortlisted for the Reading the West Book Award in Nonfiction"
"Winner of the Cover & Design Award, The Nebraska Center for the Book"
"

The book recounts massacres and broken treaties, and pays particular attention to the Friends of the Indian movement, white activists whose misguided assimilationist enterprises further eroded Indigenous nations. Jacobs, who is not herself Indigenous, emphasizes the importance of centering Native Americans’ own understanding of this history. She also highlights people of settler descent who have amplified Native voices and pushed for justice—not to portray them as heroes but to illuminate a potential path toward reconciliation.
