About this ebook
Stand on any street corner in America, and you stand where others stood for fifteen thousand years before you. Yet most Americans know almost nothing about the peoples who were here first.
Native Roots: Rediscovering America's First Inhabitants tells the complete story of Native American history, from the first migrations across the Bering land bridge around 15,000 BCE to the sovereignty battles of the twenty-first century.
You'll meet the Ancestral Puebloans who built Cahokia, a city larger than medieval London. You'll witness European diseases that killed up to 95% of the indigenous population after 1492. You'll march the Trail of Tears with the Cherokee in 1838. You'll stand with Sitting Bull at Little Bighorn and witness the massacre at Wounded Knee.
But this book doesn't end with defeat. You'll see how Native peoples survived genocide, preserved their cultures, and continue fighting for sovereignty today - from the Alcatraz occupation in 1969 to Standing Rock in 2016.
This is American history as it actually happened. No myths about friendly Thanksgiving dinners. No romanticism. Just the truth about conquest, resistance, survival, and resilience.
574 federally recognized tribes. More than 5 million Native Americans. Thousands of years of history. One essential book.
