ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“There There” by Tommy Orange explores the lives of twelve interconnected Native American characters living in Oakland, California. Each character struggles with identity, belonging, and the effects of generational trauma while navigating modern urban life. Themes of cultural survival, displacement, and the search for community are central to the narrative. Through their individual stories, Orange examines the complexities of being Native in a contemporary world, confronting stereotypes, and the challenges of reconnecting with heritage. The novel highlights the importance of storytelling as a means of healing, resistance, and reclaiming identity in a society that marginalizes Native voices.
