White Birch, Red Hawthorn by Nora Murphy

White Birch, Red Hawthorn by Nora Murphy. A short memoir that chronicles Murphy’s journey as she grapples with how her Irish immigrant ancestors took part in settling on the land stolen from Minnesotan Native American tribes. She discusses the Ho-Chunk, Dakota, and Ojibwe tribes and the impacts they faced as a result of colonization, as well as how American folktales like Paul Bunyan and Little House on the Prairie have contributed to this.
