Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West by Dee Brown
5.0
"They made us promises, more than I remember, but they never kept but one; they promised to take our land, and they took it."
A very demanding reading that bleeds history from every page, and tells the history of one of the darkest foundation stones of the modern world. This book simply has to be read by everyone wanting to have a clear view of the highly romanticised American history; and learn a larger lesson on the privilege and the entitled position of the white settlers.
No one remembers the Chilulas, Chimarikos, Urebures, Nipewais, Alonas, or a hundred other bands whose bones have been sealed under a million miles of freeways, parking lots and slabs of tract housing."
