I knew going into reading this that my history education intentionally is designed to remove most connects of indigenous genocide that was crucial for the U.S' global success; that being said, I was aghast at how much was intentionally erased from public education.

This historic textbook does a strong job at creating a narrative through the timeline of US history, focusing on critical spaces, such as Reconstruction Era and Post-WWll reservation desecration. I found it particularly helpful that the structure was broken up by event and what took place, rather than solo-standing chapters for broader instances in history.

The cruelty that this book reveals that white colonizers, ancestors of mine and yours, possibly, put me to tears on multiple occasions. I finished this book with a newfound sense of disgust towards the selectivity that our history is taught to us and how intentional everything is. This is one of the first federally banned books in the US (as of March , 2025) and I will be grabbing my own copy (I read this first as a library book).
