History

In 1999, Patrick Dwayne Murphy stabbed George Jacobs and left him to die on the side of the road. [3] Both men were members of the Muscogee Nation. [1] [4] Murphy's public defender, Lisa McCalmont, argued that the murder took place on Muscogee land, which meant that the State of Oklahoma did not have jurisdiction over the case. [5] The State argued that the reservation no longer existed due to allotment. [1] At the time of the podcast's recording, the case was awaiting a decision at the Supreme Court that would determine if the reservation still existed. The land in dispute is 19 million acres and is approximately half of the state of Oklahoma. [2] [6] [3] In addition to the Muscogee Nation, the land in dispute impacts the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole nations. [3] [7] The case was eventually decided in favor of the Muscogee Nation, and was the largest restoration of tribal land in United States history. [1]

Nagle wrote an op-ed article about Sharp v. Murphy for The Washington Post in November 2018, when oral arguments for the case were heard in the Supreme Court. [1] [8] Crooked Media read the article, and reached out to ask Nagle if she was interested in collaborating on a podcast. [8] Nagle is a member of Cherokee Nation. [1] [9] Several other members of the crew are also Native. [2] Nagle won the 2020 American Mosaic Journalism Prize for work on This Land. [10] [11] [12]
