About this ebook
For fifteen thousand years before European contact, millions of people built civilizations across North America. In four centuries, their world nearly ended. This is their full story.
The Native American Story: Survival, Resistance, and Resilience spans from ancient migrations through Cahokia and Chaco Canyon (900-1200 CE), the devastating contact period (1492-1600), centuries of resistance by leaders like Tecumseh and Red Cloud, the Trail of Tears (1838-1839), Plains Wars, boarding schools, and modern activism from Alcatraz (1969) to Standing Rock (2016).
You'll discover:
North America's true pre-contact population: 5-15 million people
How diseases decimated 50-90% of populations within decades
Why Red Cloud remains the only Native leader to win a war against the U.S.
The Trail of Tears that killed 4,000 Cherokee
How 400 Navajo Code Talkers helped win WWII
Legal battles from Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831) to McGirt v. Oklahoma (2020)
This is not a story of inevitable defeat—it's a testament to endurance. Today, over five million Native Americans preserve traditions, win legal victories, and rebuild nations while serving in the military at the highest per capita rate of any group.
Based on decades of scholarship and primary sources. Complete with specific dates, documented evidence, and bibliography.
The Native American experience is American history. You cannot understand one without the other.
