About this ebook
The hidden history you were never taught.
Most American history begins in 1492. This book begins 15,000 years earlier, when the first peoples crossed into Alaska and built sophisticated civilizations across two continents.
Discover Cahokia (1050 CE), a city larger than medieval London. Learn how the Haudenosaunee Confederacy's democratic system influenced the U.S. Constitution. Explore the agricultural innovations that gave the world corn, potatoes, and tomatoes.
The complete story:
The Catastrophe (1492-1600): Disease killed 90% of Indigenous peoples—the greatest demographic collapse in human history.
The Betrayals (1778-1871): The U.S. signed 370 treaties with Indigenous nations and broke nearly all of them. Four thousand Cherokee died on the Trail of Tears.
The Wars (1866-1890): Red Cloud defeated the U.S. Army. Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse won at Little Bighorn. Yet by 1890, Indigenous independence was crushed.
The Cultural Genocide (1879-1970s): Boarding schools operated for nearly a century to "Kill the Indian, save the man."
The Resistance (1969-Present): From Alcatraz to the Land Back movement, Indigenous peoples continue fighting for sovereignty and justice.
Based on primary sources, archaeological evidence, and Indigenous testimony, this book tells American history as it actually happened.
You cannot understand America without understanding its Original Americans. Their 15,000-year history deserves more than a few textbook paragraphs.
