Rebecca Nagle, the winner of the 2025 Stubbendieck Great Plains Distinguished Book Prize, will give a talk about her book on Oct. 28, 2025, 5:30 p.m., at the Sheldon Museum of Art as part of the Center for Great Plains Studies’ Paul A. Olson lecture series.
The book, “By the Fire We Carry: The Generations-Long Fight for Justice on Native Land” (Harper Collins Publishers), 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.
Nagle is an award-winning journalist and a citizen of Cherokee Nation living in Oklahoma. She is the writer and host of the podcast “This Land.” Her writing on Native representation, federal Indian law, and tribal sovereignty has been featured in the Atlantic, the Washington Post, the Guardian, USA Today, Indian Country Today, and other publications. She is a Peabody Award nominee and the recipient of the American Mosaic Journalism Prize, Women’s Media Center’s Exceptional Journalism Award, and numerous honors from the Native American Journalist Association.
Book prize committee member and University of Nebraska at Kearney assistant professor Nathan Tye said the book is both personal and historical, excavating generations of trauma to examine the contests over land, jurisdiction, memory, and the law on the southern Plains.
For two decades, the Center for Great Plains Studies’ book prize has celebrated the most outstanding work about the Great Plains during the past year, chosen by an independent group of scholars. At the lecture, Nagle will be awarded a $10,000 cash prize, generously supported by Jim and Cheryl Stubbendieck.
The talk is free and open to the public. Parking is available in downtown garages.
