Probably one of the most important books I’ve read in my entire life. I wish this had been taught to me in school. American exceptionalism is such a lie and the only way we will ever have a free nation for all people is if we admit to the past atrocities we have committed and dismantle our system from its imperialist and colonialist/capitalist roots. This also gave me a lot of context for why America is so pro-Israel and it’s because we have been committing genocide against indigenous people since DAY ONE. Israel is just taking notes from our playbook. This is a must read for all Americans to understand the true context in which we live. “Until we are all free, none of us are free” may the native Americans see freedom as well as all oppressed people groups around the world.
