"The land does not choose its people—governments do."

In this powerful letter from June 1876, Joseph stands on the vast, treeless plains of Kansas and is haunted by the ghosts of Russia. As he builds a house from sod, he recalls his grandfather’s death at the hands of the Kirghiz raiders on the Russian steppe. Now, hearing of conflicts with Native Americans in the West, he asks a chilling question: Are we repeating the cycle? Are we trespassers again?

This video explores the complex, often overlooked internal conflict of the immigrant experience—the hope for a new home mixed with the fear that history is bound to repeat itself.
