O knihe

In 1855 in the South Puget Sound, war broke out between Washington settlers and Nisqually Indians. A party of militiamen was ambushed, and two men were shot from behind and fatally wounded. After the war, Chief Leschi, a Nisqually leader, was found guilty of murder and hanged. In 2004, the Historical Court of Justice reexamined Leschi's murder conviction and posthumously exonerated him. In Framing Chief Leschi, Lisa Blee uses this case to uncover the lasting implications of the US' colonial past.
