themadhapa 's review for:

2.0

If you're expecting something like Howard Zinn's famous book, full of letters and personal accounts, look elsewhere. The full title of this book is An Indigenous Peoples' History... For Young People. I think it's meant to be used in a middle school or high school class about the history of indigenous people in the United States. It's a thorough run down of the major injustices against native peoples, but does not include first-person stories.

I liked the critical thinking questions and learned a few things I didn't already know, BUT, it was a dry read. I'd recommend Rez Life instead. It's a better mix of history + personal stories: https://amzn.to/2E2LvcY
