“This movement, or migration, of people continued very slowly over thousands of years. New groups moved across from Asia, and earlier arrivals moved farther into the new land. Gradually people spread throughout what are now Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central and South America.“

A history of the Americas, starting with ancient people coming over from the land bridge. I like that this book starts and values the people who were here first (Indigenous peoples).
