Download An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States Audiobook

“Meticulously documented, this thought-provoking treatise is sure to generate discussion.”

“Dunbar-Ortiz’s material succeeds, but will be eye-opening to those who have not previously encountered such a perspective.”

“[An] impassioned history…Belongs on the shelf next to Dee Brown’s classic, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.”

“An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States provides an essential historical reference for all Americans. . . .The American Indians’ perspective has been absent from colonial histories for too long, leaving continued misunderstandings of our struggles for sovereignty and human rights.”

“This may well be the most important US history book you will read in your lifetime…Dunbar-Ortiz radically reframes US history, destroying all foundational myths to reveal a brutal settler-colonial structure and ideology designed to cover its bloody tracks. Here, rendered in honest, often poetic words, is the story of those tracks and the people who survived—bloodied but unbowed. Spoiler alert: the colonial era is still here, and so are the Indians.”

“An Indigenous Peoples’ History…pulls up the paving stones and lays bare the deep history of the United States, from the corn to the reservations. If the United States is a ‘crime scene’, as she calls it, then Dunbar-Ortiz is its forensic scientist. A sobering look at a grave history.”
