This book was a lovely look at how indigenous peoples have survived since Europeans stormed into their lives. This book covers in much more depth what is covered fairly quickly in Turtle Island. The final chapter of this book dovetails nicely with the final chapter of Turtle Island as well. I feel like these two books could be combined to give the broader picture in one volume, but I also under the choice to make shorter, child friendly books.

Who knew?! This is nice to read right now when most (all?) of what we‘re hearing about the military right now is how it‘s breading white supremacist extremism.

“The Requirement... demanded that Indigenous people recognise any King or Queen of Spain AND the Pope as their rulers or [the Spanish] shall make war against [the indigenous people] in all ways and manners... and subject [the indigenous people] to the yoke... make slaves of [the indigenous people]” and any deaths are the indigenous people‘s fault. Never mind, this was read to them in Spanish, a language they‘d never heard before. 🙄 #VictimBlaming

“More indigenous people died from diseases in the first fifty years after the Spanish came than would be born in the next FOUR HUNDRED YEARS.” (Emphasis mine.)

MayJasper What right......! 4y
GingerAntics @MayJasper but we can‘t call this genocide in classrooms because it might offend white supremacist parents. 🙄 4y
MayJasper What has humanity learnt? Greed is given fancy names. 4y

The first “riches” Christopher Columbus (the greedy 🤬) loaded onto his ships was people, I slaves. What a lovely guy. 🙄 This is not any white washed history. I love it.

I‘m SO glad I got both of these books at once. The first one was a quick read (I tried to stick to a chapter a night, but it was really good), so I took a chance and bought both. It really paid off this time.

This is a fun read. It‘s certainly geared toward kids, but it‘s also a valuable book for adults as well. I can‘t wait to read the next one now. People who believe the world is only 6,000 years old are not going to like this book. This presents, in vivid color and detail, the history of indigenous peoples in North America. It covers everything from the Bering Straight to present day. The final chapter is a wellspring of hope for the future. 👇🏻

GingerAntics I highly recommend this book. It should be required reading for teachers and elementary school children. #EldonYellowhorn #KathyLowonger #TurtleIsland #IndigenousVoices2021 #IndigenousHistory #History 4y
