Standoff: Standing Rock, the Bundy Movement, and the American Story of Sacred Lands - Paperback

by Jacqueline Keeler (Author)

2022 High Plains Book Award Finalist

"Eye-opening and compelling...required reading for those who would call this land home."
--KIRKUS REVIEWS

The Bundy takeover of Oregon's Malheur Wildlife Refuge and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's standoff against an oil pipeline in North Dakota are two sides of the same story that created America and its deep-rooted cultural conflicts. Through a compelling comparison of conflicting beliefs and legal systems, Keeler explores whether the West has really been won--and for whom.
