Texas Book Festival, Austin

Join award-winning authors Rebecca Clarren and Leah Myers in discussion on

their latest books, The Cost of Free Land and Thinning Blood: A Memoir of Family, Myth, and

Identity. Clarren discusses the history of her Jewish ancestors’ land in South Dakota and

documents the theft of that land from the Lakota, who were forced off the territory by the U.S

government. In Thinning Blood, Myers chronicles the history of her family line through four

generations of Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe women, now that she may be the very last S’Kallam

in her family due to her tribe’s blood quantum laws.
