a sprawling family tree of a book, tracing a cheyenne bloodline from the 1800s to the 2020s. orange explores the complexity of a native american identity, of being part of a people living on soil that is yours but not yours, that was yours but maybe not yours yours and should you know more about that, since it may have been yours a few generations ago? he explores ethnic identity in the context of the widespread massacres, disappearing, and cleansing of indigenous americans, and the impact a stolen home trickles down through the psychology of generation after generation.
