Dana Lloyd challenges this paradigm in \u003ci\u003eLand Is Kin\u003c\/i\u003e by looking backward and forward, asking how such a problematic framing of sacred land as government property came to be. She explores how this knotty tangle might be undone in a way that foregrounds Indigenous sovereignty, focusing on kinship with the land and the relationship work such intimacy demands. This important book will be compelling to readers across several fields—Native American and Indigenous studies, religious studies, and law—and to communities on the ground seeking fresh insights for gaining protection of their sacred places as relatives.\"—Greg Johnson, professor, Department of Religious Studies at University of California, Santa Barbara, and author of \u003ci\u003eSacred Claims: Repatriation and Living Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book is as refreshing as it is lucid. Where most observers consider a 1988 loss before the Supreme Court to be the \u003ci\u003eend\u003c\/i\u003e of the story for Native American sacred place protection in the land of religious freedom, Dana Lloyd presses through and beyond the language of religious freedom or wilderness to hear how Yurok, Karuk, and Tolowa peoples themselves assert their rights and responsibilities to land as kin.\"—Michael McNally, professor of religion, Carleton College, and author of \u003ci\u003eDefend the Sacred: Native American Religious Freedom beyond the First Amendment\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Dana Lloyd has written an important book. Ever since the Supreme Court decided the \u003ci\u003eLyng\u003c\/i\u003e case in 1988, it has been used to severely limit and almost completely erase Indigenous land-based religious rights. Lloyd provides a new critique and analysis on how to understand and work around \u003ci\u003eLyng\u003c\/i\u003e.\"—Robert J.
