Hybrid: Nonfictioneers Book Group

The title for this month is Covered with Night: a Story of Murder and Indigenous Justice in Early America by Nicole Eustace.

In the winter of 1722, on the eve of a major conference between the Five Nations of the Haudenosaunee and Anglo-American colonists, a pair of colonial fur traders brutally assaulted a Seneca hunter near Conestoga, Pennsylvania. The crime ignited a contest between Native American forms of justice―rooted in community, forgiveness, and reparations―and the colonial ideology of harsh reprisal that called for the accused killers to be executed if found guilty.
