An Indigenous People’s History of the Unites States pt1 – Awesome! Book Club e13

This book carries us through the history of the United States as seen through the eyes of the indigenous peoples that this nation displaced, discarded, and continually degrade. Though rather dry, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz delivers an unflinching narrative that is seething with both passion and condemnation .

If you are interested in another account of American history, then look no further.
