Join us on June 28 at 7pm when we discuss Sierra Crane Murdoch’s first book. Murdoch describes it as “part true crime, part social criticism”. Yellow Bird chronicles a murder on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota, tracing the steps of an Arikara woman, Lissa Yellow Bird, as she searches for a young white oil worker who went missing from the reservation.
