Though virtually forgotten today, the crime ignited a contest between Native American forms of justice-rooted in community, forgiveness, and reparations-and the colonial ideology of harsh reprisal that called for the accused killers to be executed if found guilty. In \u003cem\u003eCovered with Night\u003c\/em\u003e, historian Nicole Eustace reconstructs the attack and its aftermath, introducing a group of unforgettable individuals-from the slain man's resilient widow to an Indigenous diplomat known as \"Captain Civility\" to the scheming governor of Pennsylvania-as she narrates a remarkable series of criminal investigations and cross-cultural negotiations. Taking its title from a Haudenosaunee metaphor for mourning, \u003cem\u003eCovered with Night\u003c\/em\u003e ultimately urges us to consider Indigenous approaches to grief and condolence, rupture and repair, as we seek new avenues of justice in our own era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liveright Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42370810708029,"sku":"9781324092162","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781324092162_p0.jpg?v=1771568316","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.mom\/products\/9781324092162","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
