An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States (ReVisioning History) Review: Settler Colonialism - This book turns the world of grade school and high school American History on its head. It is a history written by an indigenous historian who clearly has a command of her material. The work could be considered a socio-historical or anthropo-historical presentation of the multiple tribes that were wiped out by the British colonists who settled the Americas. In fact, the author emphasizes the notion of settler colonialism, whose goal, she argues, is genocide. The author has written a very readable book that is packed with information about the real historical founding of the United States. Review: Good book - Interesting and well-written. The book itself is of good quality, too. I consider it to be worth what I paid for it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,561 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Native American Demographic Studies #5 in Native American History (Books) #5 in Indigenous History | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 5,286 Reviews | ## Images ![An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States (ReVisioning History) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xHv4A+eiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Settler Colonialism *by R***D on December 31, 2025* This book turns the world of grade school and high school American History on its head.

This book is a gut-punch of clarity, earning a rare 5 out of 5 stars for its profound historical contribution, meticulous research, and powerful narrative voice! ⭐️The Definitive Reframing of US History! What makes this book essential is the author's relentless and rigorous focus on the Indigenous perspective. Dunbar-Ortiz completely dismantles the pervasive "founding myth" of the United States as a glorious, divinely ordained nation built on empty land. She replaces this narrative with the undeniable truth that the U.S. was founded as a settler-colonial state, and its expansion was a centuries-long, systematic program of genocide and land dispossession. 🪶Settler-Colonialism: The book clearly and unequivocally establishes that U.S. policy towards Indigenous nations was not a series of unfortunate accidents or regrettable frontier skirmishes. It was a deliberate, ideological, and often brutal effort to eliminate the original inhabitants in order to seize their territory. ⭐️Challenging the Canon: By revealing the truth of this "way of war" from the colonial era through the 20th century, Dunbar-Ortiz forces the reader to confront the reality that many of the celebrated figures and events in U.S. history are directly tied to these extermination policies. 🪶Unflinching Scholarship and Emotional Impact: Upon research I discovered that Dunbar-Ortiz, is a renowned historian and activist, synthesizes vast amounts of scholarship plenty capable of creating a chronological and coherent history! ⭐️Meticulous Documentation: The writing is supported by extensive research, drawing heavily on Indigenous voices, treaties, government documents, and the words of the colonizers themselves. This makes the argument unassailable; the facts speak for themselves. 🪶A Painful but Necessary Read: Be forewarned!! This book is intensely difficult to read at times due to the sheer volume of injustice and calculated violence described. However, it descends into melodrama. Her tone is one of fierce, unwavering truth-telling that is vital for achieving an honest understanding of the past. ⭐️Connecting Past to Present: Crucially, the book doesn't end in the 19th century. It draws a clear, straight line from the policies of settler-colonialism to modern issues of militarism, resource exploitation, and the continued struggle for Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination. 🪶The Value of the Book: This is not a book for someone looking for comfort; it’s a book for someone looking for truth. It should be a book of MANDITORY reading for all high schools and colleges across the country. It is a work of intellectual integrity that provides the necessary context for understanding the cultural, political, and social landscape of the United States today. If you are serious about understanding history beyond the myths, about reckoning with America's origins, and about honoring the resistance and perseverance of the Indigenous peoples, you must read this book. It's a permanent fixture in my library! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ## Frequently Bought Together - An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States (ReVisioning History) - A People's History of the United States - The Humanity Archive: Recovering the Soul of Black History from a Whitewashed American Myth --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/16900970-an-indigenous-peoples-history-of-the-united-states-revisioning-history](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/16900970-an-indigenous-peoples-history-of-the-united-states-revisioning-history) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
