 \n…………………………………………………………………………………\nIn 
 this riveting book, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz decolonizes American history and 
 …strips us of our forged innocence, shocks us into new awarenesses and 
 draws a straight line from the sins of our fathers —settler-colonialism, 
 the doctrine of discovery, the myth of manifest destiny, white supremacy, 
 theft and systematic killing—to the contemporary condition of permanent 
 war, invasion and occupation, mass incarceration, and the constant use and 
 threat of state violence.  Best of all, she points a way beyond amnesia, 
 paralyzing guilt, or helplessness toward discovering our deepest humanity 
 in a project of truth-telling and repair. An Indigenous Peoples’ History 
 of the United States will forever change the way we read history and 
 understand our own responsibility to it.” — Bill Ayers\n\n“Roxanne 
 Dunbar-Ortiz’s An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States is a 
 fiercely honest, unwavering, and unprecedented statement, one which has 
 never been attempted by any other historian or intellectual. The 
 presentation of facts and arguments is clear and direct, unadorned by 
 needless and pointless rhetoric, and there is an organic feel of 
 intellectual solidity that provides weight and trust. It is truly an 
 Indigenous peoples’ voice that gives Dunbar-Ortiz’s book direction, 
 purpose, and trustworthy intention. Without doubt, this crucially important 
 book is required reading for everyone in the Americas!” — Simon J. 
 Ortiz, Regents Professor of English and American Indian Studies, Arizona 
 State University\n\n“An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United 
 …serves as an indispensable text for students of all ages… The American 
 Indians’ perspective has been absent from colonial histories for too 
 long, leaving continued misunderstandings of our struggles for sovereignty 
 and human rights.”— Peterson Zah, former President of the Navajo Nation 
 \n\nRoxanne Dunbar-Ortiz grew up in rural Oklahoma, the daughter of a 
 farmer and half-Indian mother. Active in the American Indian Movement for 
 more than four decades, she is known for her lifelong commitment to 
 national and international social justice issues. After earning her PhD in 
 history at U.C.L.A., she taught in the Native American Studies Program at 
 California State University and helped found the departments of Ethnic 
 Studies and Women’s Studies. Her 1977 book, The Great Sioux Nation was 
 the fundamental document at the first international conference on Indians 
 in the Americas, held at the United Nations’ headquarters in Geneva.  She 
 is the author or editor of seven books, including Outlaw Woman, a Memoir of 
 the War Years, 1960-1975, and Blood on the Border: Memoir of the Contra 
 War.\n\nLakota Harden - orator, community organizer, activist, radio host 
 and poet, daughter of seven generations of Lakota leaders - is currently a 
 host on the weekly radio program Bay Native Circle on Pacifica radio 
 station KPFA. The program features interviews, current events and 
 perspectives of the Native American community.\n
