An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz (click on the title to preview the book)
Today in the U.S., there are more than five hundred federally recognized indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the U.S. told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire.
