Fort Vancouver Visitor Center hosts book signing with Sierra Crane Murdoch

Pulitzer Prize finalist Sierra Crane Murdoch will be at the Fort Vancouver Visitor Center from 1 to 3 p.m. July 6 to discuss her bestselling book, “Yellow Bird: Oil, Murder and a Woman’s Search for Justice in Indian Country.” Books ($20) are for sale in the Friends Bookstore. The event is free but registration is helpful at friendsfortvancouver.org. Named one of the best books of 2020 by The New York Times, NPR, and Publisher’s Weekly, Crane Murdoch’s book was also nominated for the Edgar Award, won an Oregon Book Award, and is being developed as a TV series. Part true crime, part social criticism, “Yellow Bird” chronicles a murder on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota, tracing the steps of an Arikara woman, Lissa Yellow Bird, as she searches for a young white oil worker who went missing from the reservation.
