Rebecca Clarren is a journalist who has spent the last 20 years documenting stories of Indigenous Americans.
Rebecca’s reporting collides with her personal history in her new book The Cost of Free Land: Jews, Lakota, and an American Inheritance, which explores how her Jewish immigrant ancestors were gifted land by the U.S. government that had previously belonged to and promised to Lakota people.
Rebecca and Heath discuss the challenges with researching family history, understanding the layers of identity, and how her family's story may serve as an allegory for better grappling with the current crisis in the Middle East.
