"Indigenous people protecting land, water, and their communities over the centuries — we can learn a lot from how Native people resist, and from asking ourselves why these stories have been so suppressed." |
A groundbreaking illustrated history of Indigenous activism and resistance in the Americas over the previous 500 years, from contact to present day. With strong, plain language and evocative illustrations, it powerfully portrays flashpoints in history when Indigenous peoples have risen up and fought back against colonizers and other oppressors. Reveals the tenacity and perseverance of Indigenous peoples as they endured 500-plus years of genocide, massacre, torture, rape, displacement, and assimilation: a necessary antidote to conventional histories of the Americas.
