In her absence, the landscape had been altered beyond recognition, her tribal government swayed by corporate interests, and her community burdened by a surge in violence and addiction. Three years later, when Lissa learned that a young white oil worker, Kristopher 'KC' Clarke, had disappeared from his reservation worksite, she became particularly concerned. No one knew where Clarke had gone, and no one but his mother was actively looking for him. Unfolding like a gritty mystery, Yellow Bird traces Lissa's steps as she obsessively hunts for clues to Clarke's disappearance. She navigates two worlds -- that of her own tribe, changed by its newfound wealth, and that of the non-Native oil workers, down on their luck, who have come to find work on the heels of the economic recession. Her pursuit becomes an effort at redemption -- an atonement for her own crimes and a reckoning with generations of trauma. Yellow Bird is both an exquisitely written, masterfully reported story about a search for justice and a remarkable portrait of a complex woman who is smart, funny, eloquent, compassionate, and -- when it serves her cause -- manipulative. Ultimately, it is a deep examination of the legacy of systematic violence inflicted on a tribal nation and a tale of extraordinary healing"-- |c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Yellow Bird, Lissa. 600 10 $a Clarke, Kristopher. 650 0 $a Missing persons $x Investigation $z Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. $z Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. 650 0 $a Murder $z Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. $z Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. 650 0 $a Criminal investigation $z United States $x Citizen participation. 650 0 $a Oil industry workers $z Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. $z Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. 651 0 $a Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, North Dakota. 651 0 $a Fort Berthold Indian Reservation (N.D.) $x Social conditions. 650 7 $a Criminal investigation $x Citizen participation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883202 650 7 $a Missing persons $x Investigation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023707 650 7 $a Murder. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029781 650 7 $a Oil industry workers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01044669 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a North Dakota $z Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244294 651 7 $a Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, North Dakota. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01715413 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201022940.0 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20220104013354.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20210728011032.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=38326BDEEF6911EBB8061DD04AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
