Bitter Water: A Memoir of Discrimination in Indian Country is a timely memoir as tribes across the American West battle in court to secure their historically granted water rights. Marginalized people forcibly relocated during the nineteenth century—their cultures and populations nearly decimated by the westward expansion of Manifest Destiny—no longer defend their land and water with bows and arrows but with the skill of lawyers.
