An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States offers an unflinching examination of the history of the United States from the perspective of Indigenous peoples. This profound work radically reframes over 400 years of history, centering the voices of Native Americans and their resistance to settler-colonialism and genocide.

This 10th anniversary edition includes a new foreword by Raoul Peck and a new introduction by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. The book delves into the brutal realities of the nation’s founding and its ongoing legacy, exploring events from the war in Afghanistan to the Charlottesville rallies, and from the onset of the pandemic to the election of President Biden.

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz traces the perseverance of Indigenous peoples over four centuries, challenging myths such as America's founding as a revolution against tyranny, the passivity of Native peoples, and the narrative of the US as a "nation of immigrants."

Today, more than 500 federally recognized Indigenous nations exist in the United States, comprising nearly three million people. This classic bottom-up history aims to break the silences that have haunted the nation's narrative and brings to light the stories of those who have been marginalized.
