This book was really informative & provided a really well rounded history of indigenous people in the United States. This book touches on so many things that don't get taught or talked about. I listened to the audio & the narrator Laural Merlington was very good!

This is a very informative history of America from the perspective of the tribes who lived here first. There’s a heavy focus on genocide and violence and a need for return and reform and reparations. Emotional read.

Everyone should read this. I listened to this as a library audiobook, but I will be purchasing a physical copy at some point.

This book covers the history of indigenous peoples and the systematic genocide perpetrated against them. It covers a lot of triggering content, but it does not glorify or linger on it.
