Banned Book Club: An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States

National

Wednesday, November 20, 2024 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM ET

Virtual

An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States - by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz provides the first comprehensive history of the U.S. from the perspective of Indigenous peoples. Today, over 500 federally recognized Indigenous nations, comprising nearly three million people, are descendants of the original 15 million Native inhabitants. The book explores the centuries-long genocidal program of U.S. settler-colonialism, often omitted from mainstream history. Dunbar-Ortiz challenges the founding myths of the U.S., revealing how policies aimed to displace or eliminate Indigenous peoples. This essential resource connects past policies to present movements like the Dakota Access Pipeline protest and efforts to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day, offering crucial insights for understanding U.S. history.
