The first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples. 
Spanning over three hundred years of history, An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a classic bottom up history that will significantly reframe how we view U.S. history. Dunbar-Ortiz challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the indigenous peoples was genocidal and imperialist, and designed to crush the original inhabitants. Told from the viewpoint of the indigenous, it reveals how Native Americans for centuries actively resisted expansion of the US empire.
