There There is a 2018 novel and the debut work by author Tommy Orange.The book focuses on twelve "urban" Native American characters around Oakland, California, and their lives before they all convene at a big pow wow at the Oakland Coliseum. It examines their individual struggles with heritage and identity in the modern world; through their arcs, Orange showcases the mistreatment and abuse Native Americans have faced throughout the centuries, and how the United States sanitizes it and continues to leave them with nothing.Has a sequel, Wandering Stars, published in 2024. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| There There / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Edwin's story about a Native American man being forced out of his apartment by a white friend is an unsubtle metaphor for the treatment of Native people by white people. | |

Anachronic Order | |
| There There / int_8b6e8d7 | comment |
Anachronic Order: Most of the stories take place in the days immediately leading up to the Coliseum pow wow, but one of them is set decades in the past during the 1969-1971 occupation of Alcatraz Island. | |

A Degree in Useless | |
| There There / int_b5c47a93 | comment |
A Degree in Useless: Played for Drama. One character has a graduate degree in native studies, but no job prospects. This is used as a metaphor for the plight of Native Americans in the modern day. | |

Cliffhanger | |

Shout-Out | |
| There There / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The title is one to Gertrude Stein's autobiography: "There is no there there." There's even a scene where a minor character quotes the line, and another thinks to himself about how it's always taken out of context. | |
