Standoff

Standing Rock, the Bundy Movement, and the American Story of Sacred Lands

About this book

"A powerful, illuminating book."
—LOUISE ERDRICH, author of The Night Watchman Native young people and elders pray in sweat lodges at the OcĂ©ti SakĂłwin camp, the North Dakota landscape outside blanketed in snow. In Oregon, white men and women in army surplus and western gear, some draped in the American flag, gather in the buildings of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. The world witnessed two standoffs in 2016: the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's protest against an oil pipeline in North Dakota and the armed takeover of Oregon's Malheur Wildlife Refuge led by the Bundy family. These events unfolded in vastly different ways, from media coverage to the reactions of law enforcement. In Standoff, Jacqueline Keeler examines these episodes as two sides of the same story that created America and its deep–rooted cultural conflicts.
