Description

Black Hills/White Justice tells of the longest active legal battle in United States history: the century-long effort by the Sioux nations to receive compensation for the seizure of the Black Hills. Edward Lazarus, son of some of the lawyers involved within the case, traces the tangled internet of laws, wars, and treaties that resulted in the wresting of the Black Hills from the Sioux and their subsequent efforts to receive compensation for the loss. His account covers the Sioux nations’ good fortune in winning the most important financial award ever offered to an Indian tribe and their decision to show it down and insist nothing lower than the go back of the land.
