This book was gut-wrenchingly informative and meticulously well researched and presented. Reading this, I couldn't help but question my education and everything I've been taught about my country and its origins having grown up as an American. 

This book reminded me of the importance of humanity and how frequently throughout history the United States of America has lacked it.

The book is so well researched and informative, I would give it 5 ⭐. That being said, it's like reading a textbook . It's very dry. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator is monotone so that didn't enhance it in any way. Highly recommend.

emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

3.5

This is a very informative history of America from the perspective of the tribes who lived here first. There’s a heavy focus on genocide and violence and a need for return and reform and reparations. Emotional read.
