<p class="xminor">On Tuesday, February 4, 2020 at 6.30pm – 8.00pm, the Yale Bookstore presents <strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">John Sayles</span></strong> discussing his latest book,
<strong><i><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Yellow Earth</span></i></strong>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">In <strong><i><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Yellow Earth</span></i></strong>, named after the site of Three Nations reservations on the banks of the Missouri River in North Dakota, Sayles introduces us to Harleigh Killdeer,
chairman of the Tribal Business Council. “An activist in his way, a product of the Casino Era,” Kildeer, who is contracted by oil firm Case and Crosby, spearheads the new Three Nations Petroleum Company. What follows, with characteristic lyrical dexterity,
insight, and wit, introduces us to a memorable cast of characters, weaving together narratives of competing worlds through masterful storytelling. Set shortly before Standing Rock would become a symbol of historic proportions of the brutal confrontation between
native resistance and the forces of big business and law enforcement, the fate of Yellow Earth serves as a parable for our times.<o:p></o:p></p>
