Abe Streep is the author of Brothers on Three: A True Story of Family, Resistance, and Hope on a Reservation in Montana (Celadon Books), winner of the Montana Book Award and the New Mexico-Arizona General Nonfiction Book Award. The book is rooted in the community of Arlee, on the Flathead Indian Reservation, home to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. The New York Times called it “an immersive portrait of a small tribal town where shared history runs deep, opportunity feels elusive, and basketball is a visceral expression of collective pride, hope, and grit.” Debra Magpie Earling wrote, “Brothers on Three captures the roar of a community spirit powered by blood history, loyalty, and ferocious love.”
Abe writes for publications including The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, ProPublica, and Outside, where he is a contributing editor. His writing has been anthologized in The Best American Sports Writing and noted by The Best American Essays and The Best American Science and Nature Writing, and he was a recipient of the 2019 American Mosaic Journalism Prize for deep reporting about underrepresented communities. He also works as a freelance editor and has taught at the Lighthouse Writers Workshop, the Bread Loaf Environmental Writers’ Conference, and the University of Wyoming’s Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources.
