Synopsis

“A powerful series that fills in the cracks and illuminates the shadows of the past.” –Sherri L. Smith, award-winning author of Flygirl
 
Introducing a new nonfiction series that uncovers hidden histories of the United States.

The true story of the United States’ Indigenous beginnings.

American schoolchildren have long been taught that their country was “discovered” by Christopher Columbus in 1492. But the history of Native Americans in the United States goes back tens of tens of thousands of years prior to Columbus’s and other colonizers’ arrivals. So, what’s the true history? 
Indigenous America introduces and amplifies the oral and written histories that have long been left out of American history books.

This TRUE HISTORY series includes another title I've read, THE LEGACY OF JIM CROW. This title, Indigenous America, is similarly effective in examining a complex and necessary topic with strength and a bit of depth. For the target age and as an introduction to the study of the topic, this provides th......more

Goodreads review by Stevie on March 26, 2023

This book is one I bought to include in my classroom and I believe, upon reading it, should be included in the upper elementary/middle school history classroom as an introduction to thinking about the true history of Indigenous peoples. I learned so many things that I had simply either never heard o......more
