About this ebook
For 15,000 years before European contact, Indigenous civilizations built cities rivaling medieval London, ran continent-spanning trade networks, and developed agriculture that still feeds the world. Then came 1492.
This book tells the complete story — from the first footprints across the Beringia land bridge to today's fight for sovereignty. Not romanticized. Real.
You'll encounter the sophisticated cities of Cahokia, Mesa Verde, and Chaco Canyon; the Columbian Exchange that killed 90% of the Indigenous population within a century; leaders like Tecumseh, Sitting Bull, and Wilma Mankiller who refused to surrender; the Trail of Tears; Red Cloud's war — the only one Native peoples won against the United States; the boarding school era; the occupation of Alcatraz; and how 574 federally recognized tribes are still fighting today.
Built from treaty records, soldier diaries, and Native oral traditions, this is American history as it actually happened — complete, unflinching, and essential.
The truth about Native America has been hidden too long. Their story didn't end at Wounded Knee. It continues right now.
