2015-10-14 00:04:01| Powells Books Events Calendar
Today in the United States, there are more than 500 federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly 3 million people, descendants of the 15 million Native people who once inhabited this land. Historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the U.S. told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples — revealing how Native Americans actively resisted expansion of the U.S. empire. Spanning more than 400 years, An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States (Beacon) reframes U.S. history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative.
