An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States: Revisioning History

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz's An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a groundbreaking work that challenges the traditional narrative of American history. This book provides a much-needed perspective on the history of the United States from the perspective of the indigenous peoples who have lived here for thousands of years.

Dunbar-Ortiz begins her book by recounting the story of the first Thanksgiving, a familiar tale that is often told as a heartwarming story of friendship and cooperation between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people. However, Dunbar-Ortiz reveals the darker side of this story, pointing out that the Pilgrims were actually invaders who brought disease and violence to the Wampanoag people. She also discusses the ways in which the United States government has systematically oppressed indigenous peoples, from the Trail of Tears to the Wounded Knee Massacre.
