Lisa’s Reviews > An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States > Status Update

There is so much I never learned before about indigenous people in the USA and their histories. I am so curious to learn more about indigenous people here in San Diego, as well as to learn what new laws and proposals might come with the 4? or 5? new lawmakers in Congress who are indigenous themselves.

I am blown away by this book. It is really humbling and upsetting to realize how much indigenous people's history I have never learned or even taken a peek at in all of my many years of learning in schools and universities! I love the way the book started, and want to share it in this class. I also am inspired to learn more about the Kumeyaay as they are the stewards of this land where I live.

This is fascinating, so far. I wish I had read this book much earlier in my life and my career. I am committed to learning more about the indigenous history in this country.
