Requests:  0 Summary:  "This nation's history and self-understanding have long depended on the notion of a "colonial America," an epoch that supposedly laid the foundation for the modern United States. In Indigenous Continent, Pekka Hämäläinen overturns the traditional, Eurocentric narrative, demonstrating that, far from being weak and helpless "victims" of European colonialism, Indigenous peoples controlled North America well into the 19th century. From the Iroquois and Pueblos to the Lakotas and Comanches, Native empires frequently decimated white newcomers in battle, forcing them to accept and even adopt Native ways. Even as the white population skyrocketed and colonists' land greed become ever more extravagant, Indigenous peoples flourished due to sophisticated diplomacy and flexible leadership structures. As Hämäläinen ultimately contends, instead of "colonial America" we should speak of an "Indigenous America" that was only slowly and unevenly becoming colonial. In our myth-busting era, this restoration of Native Americans to their rightful place at the very center of American history will be seen as one of the most important correctives yet"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 970.00497 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 970.00497 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 970.00497 Hämäläinen Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 970.00497 Hamalainen Checked out 06/30/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 970.00497 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 970.00497 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 970.00497 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 970.00497 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 970.00497 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 970.00497 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
