An indigenous peoples' history of the United States
Dunbar-Ortiz, Roxanne
An indigenous peoples' history of the United States / Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - Boston : Beacon Press , 2014 - ,296 p.; 24 cm
This land -- Follow the corn -- Culture of conquest -- Cult of the covenant -- Bloody footprints -- The birth of a nation -- The last of the Mohicans and Andrew Jackson's White Republic -- Sea to shining sea -- "Indian Country" -- US triumphalism and peacetime colonialism -- Ghost dance prophecy : a nation is coming -- The doctrine of discovery -- The future of the United States.
Today in the United States, 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. Now historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire.
