The North American continent was and still is rife with genocidal practices and white supremacist ideologies.
The history of the United States told through an indigenous perspective is imperative learning for all peoples around the world. Considering the “current climate” I would not be surprised if there are subsequent events that would initiate an Independence Day of sorts from US military occupation / bases. Why do we have thousands of military bases spread across the world? Why do we hold so many nukes? Why do we spend most of our budget on military And weapons?

I don't have a review, but this is a really important book and I definitely appreciated the insight given here into US Colonialist practices.
