.Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz is the book’s author and researcher. She holds a PhD in history, and for years she has taught as a professor of Native American studies. She has also been active for decades in pro-Native civil rights movements and is of partial Native American descent.
This book serves to present a significant yet often ignored perspective in American history, namely the perspective of Native American communities. The book recognizes that Native Americans have been consistently attacked and oppressed by the United States over the past centuries. Moreover, mainstream American culture—as well as mainstream American history curricula—often ignore the country’s brutal history of violence against natives. American history is most often recounted from the perspective of the settler colonialists who violently subjugated the Natives, and thus these historical perspectives often attempt to dismiss or justify that violence. This book presents these aspects of history in order to highlight the profoundly immoral events that have consistently defined American history, and which continue to define American culture and politics.
