About the Book: A powerful work of reportage and American history that braids the story of the forced removal of Native Americans onto treaty lands in the nation’s earliest days, and a small-town murder in the 1990s that led to a Supreme Court ruling reaffirming Native rights to that land more than a century later. Before 2020, American Indian reservations made up roughly 55 million acres of land in the United States. Nearly 200 million acres are reserved for National Forests—in the emergence of this great nation, our government set aside more land for trees than for Indigenous peoples. In the 1830s Muscogee people were rounded up by the US military at gunpoint and forced into exile halfway across the continent. At the time, they were promised this new land would be theirs for as long as the grass grew and the waters ran. But that promise was not kept. When Oklahoma was created on top of Muscogee land, the new state claimed their reservation no longer existed. Over a century later, a Muscogee citizen was sentenced to death for murdering another Muscogee citizen on tribal land. His defense attorneys argued the murder occurred on the reservation of his tribe, and therefore Oklahoma didn’t have the jurisdiction to execute him. Oklahoma asserted that the reservation no longer existed. In the summer of 2020, the Supreme Court settled the dispute. Its ruling that would ultimately underpin multiple reservations covering almost half the land in Oklahoma, including Nagle’s own Cherokee Nation. Here Rebecca Nagle 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. About the Speakers:

Very cool establishment with two floors of views of the beautiful Seattle skyline. They&rsquo;re open day and night and I missed the night views. The revolving floor was super fun for my kid and myself. The Photo Booth is interesting and we had some memorable photos. Maybe they can include some more activities inside the restaurants and have clear instructions about which lifts lead where.

Chihuly Garden and Glass

Elbik

Its an incredible art gallery that showcases the brilliance of Dale Chihuly&rsquo;s work. The vibrant combination of colors and glass creates a mesmerizing experience, truly highlighting the artist&rsquo;s creative genius. The way the gallery is designed, with its dark, minimalist layout, allows the artwork to shine even more, giving each piece its own unique presence.

The University of Washington (UW) is a public research university located in Washington State, USA. It is not only the oldest public university on the West Coast of the United States, but also one of the top three most beautiful universities in the United States! If you come to Seattle, please make sure to arrange a day to visit, you will not be disappointed! UW is famous for its beautiful natural environment and excellent academic atmosphere. Walking on the campus, you will find green trees, birds singing and flowers blooming, as if you are in a huge botanical park. There are many iconic buildings on campus, the most famous of which is the Harry Potter-style library, which is jokingly called Suzhou Building by the Chinese. This magnificent building is not only a holy place for academic research, but also a popular place for taking photos. Standing in front of the library, you will be shocked by its solemn momentum, and even more shocking is the scene of the fountain and snow-capped mountains reflecting each other. Every year during the cherry blossom season, countless tourists from home and abroad flock here to watch this unique natural wonder!
