Community, Power, and the Search for Indigenous Identity with Award-Winning Journalist Joseph Lee

In Nothing More of This Land: Community, Power, and the Search for Indigenous Identity, Joseph Lee explores Indigenous identity near the "island paradise" of Martha's Vineyard. Growing up Aquinnah Wampanoag, Joseph Lee grappled with what it means to be an Indigenous person in the world today, especially as tribal land, culture, and community face new threats. Starting with the story of his own tribe, which is from Martha's Vineyard, Lee tackles key questions around Indigenous identity and the legacy of colonialism.

Joseph Lee is an Aquinnah Wampanoag writer based in New York City. He has an MFA from Columbia University and teaches creative writing at Mercy University.
