A PEN/Hemingway Award-Winning Novel of Urban Native Identity, Oakland Powwows, and Interconnected Lives

In Oakland, California, twelve Urban Native American individuals from diverse backgrounds navigate addiction, cultural displacement, family secrets, and historical trauma. Their stories converge at the upcoming Big Oakland Powwow held at the Oakland Coliseum.

Ensemble perspectives include Jacquie Red Feather, an addiction counselor returning home; Dene Oxendene, a documentary filmmaker collecting oral histories; and teenage Orvil Red Feather, learning traditional dance from internet videos. As they gather for the celebration, a plot to rob the powwow prize money threatens tragedy.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Pulitzer Prize finalist Tommy Orange delivers a revolutionary, percussive portrait of contemporary Urban Native American life. Essential reading for fans of Louise Erdrich, Stephen Graham Jones, and Colson Whitehead.
