Revisioned History of the United States for Indigenous Peoples
The first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples, An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is now part of the HBO docuseries "Exterminate All the Brutes," written and directed by Raoul Peck. This acclaimed work by historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz has been recognized as a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature.
Today, the United States is home to more than five hundred federally recognized Indigenous nations, comprising nearly three million people, who are the descendants of the fifteen million Native people that once inhabited this land. However, the centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Dunbar-Ortiz's book offers a crucial historical perspective, providing essential resources for understanding the present, as movements such as the campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples' Day, and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, continue to gain momentum.
In this groundbreaking work, Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States, revealing how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. This policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military. Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under President Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who, in 1836, wrote of the Seminoles: "The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them."
Spanning more than four hundred years, this classic bottom-up peoples' history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative. An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is an essential resource, providing historical threads that are crucial for understanding the present, as the United States grapples with its complex and often-overlooked history.
