Magic City Books is proud to welcome Rebecca Nagle for a book launch event celebrating her new book, By the Fire We Carry: The Generations Long Fight for Justice on Native Land, on Tuesday September 10 at 7:00 pm. This free event will be hosted at Philbrook Museum of Art, 2727 S Rockford in Tulsa.

Rebecca Nagle is an award-winning journalist and a citizen of Cherokee Nation. She is the writer and host of the podcast This Land. Her writing on Native representation, federal Indian law, and tribal sovereignty has been featured in numerous national publications.

By the Fire We Carry 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. The story it tells exposes both the wrongs that our nation has committed and the Native-led battle for justice that has shaped our country.

Rebecca will be joined by three distinguished guests for the program. James Floyd (Muscogee), former Principal Chief of Muscogee Nation when the McGirt case went to the Supreme Court, Rosemary McCombs Maxey (Muscogee) Muscogee elder, first language speaker and language teacher, and Philip Tinker (Osage) lawyer who worked on the McGirt case.

By the Fire We Carry will be published by Harper on September 10, 2024. Copies will be available for sale starting that day at Magic City Books and will be for sale at the event. Rebecca will sign copies of the book at the conclusion of the program. Customers can pre-order a copy at: https://magiccitybooks.square.site/product/by-the-fire-we-carry/2466.
