In the process, King refashions old stories about historical events and figures, takes a sideways look at film and pop culture, relates his own complex experiences with activism, and articulates a deep and revolutionary understanding of the cumulative effects of ever-shifting laws and treaties on Native peoples and lands. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a book both timeless and timely, burnished with anger but tempered by wit, and ultimately a hard-won offering of hope—a sometimes inconvenient, but nonetheless indispensable account for all of us, Indian and non-Indian alike, seeking to understand how we might tell a new story for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Author's Republic","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49439566496048,"sku":"BDcqec","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49439566627120,"sku":"ZEcqec","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/232818-cqec-Square.jpg?v=1736501420","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-cqec","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
