‘Breathtaking… a triumph' NOREEN MASUD
‘A fascinating book and an important one’ WASHINGTON POST
A powerful work of reportage and American history that braids together the story of the forced removal of Native Americans onto treaty lands in the nation’s earliest days, and a small-town murder in the 1990s that led to a Supreme Court ruling reaffirming Native rights to that land more than a century later.
Before 2020, American Indian reservations made up roughly 55 million acres of land in the United States. By contrast, nearly 200 million acres are reserved for National Forests – in the emergence of the United States as a nation, the government set aside more land for trees than for Indigenous peoples.
In the 1830s, Muscogee people were rounded up by the US military at gunpoint and forced into exile halfway across the continent. At the time, they were promised this new land would be theirs for as long as the grass grew and the waters ran. But that promise was not kept. When Oklahoma was created on top of Muscogee land, the new state claimed their reservation no longer existed. Over a century later, a Muscogee citizen was sentenced to death for murdering another Muscogee citizen on tribal land. His defense attorneys argued that the murder occurred on the reservation of his tribe, and therefore Oklahoma didn’t have the jurisdiction to execute him. Oklahoma asserted that the reservation no longer existed. In the summer of 2020, the Supreme Court settled the dispute. Its ruling would ultimately underpin multiple reservations covering almost half the land in Oklahoma, including the author’s own Cherokee Nation.
Here Rebecca Nagle recounts the generations long fight for tribal land and sovereignty in eastern Oklahoma. By chronicling both the contemporary legal battle and historic acts of Indigenous resistance, By the Fire We Carry stands as a landmark work of American history

'A narrative as propulsive and affecting as it is infuriating'
VANITY FAIR
'Nagle's gripping historical and legal chronicle sheds light on a centuries-long struggle for Indigenous sovereignty and tribal land in Oklahoma'
NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
‘This richly reported book centres on McGirt v. Oklahoma, a Supreme Court case that, when it was decided, in 2020, reaffirmed Native American sovereignty over large parts of the state… Throughout the book, Nagle places these events in the context of centuries of injustice’
NEW YORKER
‘Terrific… Nagle writes with sensitivity and empathy for the Native American communities she grew up in and around’
ATLANTIC
‘A powerful history….Blending reportage and historical research into a propulsive narrative that reads like a legal thriller….Detailed and impassioned, it’s a gripping corrective to the historical record, and not to be missed’
ESQUIRE
'Compellingly told and deeply researched, Nagle's timely work brilliantly reveals the sweeping and yet profoundly personal consequences of ongoing Indigenous struggles for sovereignty'
CAROLINE DODDS PENNOCK, author of On Savage Shores
‘A fiery account as chilling as a legal thriller… By the Fire We Carry is a clear and courageous call for justice’
TIYA MILES, author of All That She Carried
