My daughter and I listened to this on a cross country road trip. It was a heart-wrenching but relevant accompaniment to our journey, giving us s different perspective to the stories of Lewis and Clark, the pioneers, the gold rush, etc. that we’re celebrated at almost every stop along the way.

Not sure I have the words for this yet other than that the history of the making of the American West is horrific. If only we knew it. Spoke of it. Repented of it.
We are not the people we think we are. This nation is not what it thinks it is. We who claim Christ do not possess the inheritance of nonviolence, benevolence, and peace we think we do. Ours is an inheritance of dispossession. Of violence. Of genocide. All condoned by a culture that baptized racial and cultural supremacy as God-ordained. This is our past. But God willing it does not have to be our future.
Necessary reading for all Americans.
God have mercy on us.
