The first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous p
eoples.
Today in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally
recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendant
s of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuri
es-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been om
itted from history. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Ro
xanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspecti
ve of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, active
ly resisted expansion of the US empire.
