Yellow Bird. Oil, murder and a woman’s search for justice in Indian Country. Sierra Crane Murdoch. 2020. ISBN 9780399589157. This is why I like to read books by journalists, they can write. The book is seemingly simple, one woman following and journaling the efforts of another to find justice. But it is much more profound. In these pages is likely one of the better illustrations of what it means to be Indian in North America. Plus an indictment of big oil in North Dakota. The reader comes to their own judgement in experiencing life along with the book’s characters. The style is simple, and almost pedestrian as you follow the chronology. But in this simplicity comes a slow compulsion to see how it all comes out. Worth the read.
