An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz

informative medium-paced

4.25

The United States is a country built on top of the backs of others, and the land of indigenous people. An uncaring and violent culture towards indigenous people dominates even to the present day of this country. I lack the words to properly describe the peril of these groups and the trauma of these events, but it weighs on me. This chapter in American history is a vital one to acknowledge and remember. This story is often told without distributing detail and paints the assailants in a bright victorious light. This is the perspective we need to hear and understand.
