Native Bookshelf: ‘Nothing More of This Land’ by Joseph Lee

Aquinnah Wampanoag journalist Joseph Lee investigates the difficult subject of Indigenous identity in his new book, “Nothing More of This Land: Community, Power, and the Search for Indigenous Identity.”

Lee uses his own family’s story as a jumping off point, exploring the reality of the people who once greeted the Mayflower. The original Wampanoag homeland includes Martha’s Vineyard, the haven for wealthy elites that has become so expensive that at least three quarters of tribal members can no longer afford to live there.

Lee branches out from there to find parallels among the Native people and places he’s covered — from Alaska to the halls of the United Nations.

Tune in to talk with Lee about his new book, journalism, and what it means to be Native in modern America.
