The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich
Louise Erdrich pays poignant homage to her grandfather in this sweeping novel about Native American dispossession in the 1950s. Like her grandfather, our titular hero is a humble night watchman, also the tribal chairman of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa in North Dakota. Initially an uneventful post, Thomas Wazhashk's life is upended when he learns that the U.S. government has earmarked them for "emancipation" (an odd term, he points out, since they were not enslaved). The Night Watchman follows Thomas's tireless efforts to persuade the U.S. government to honor treaties that protected what remained of their already picked-over lands.
