Indigenous Continent: The Epic Contest for North America
Description
This sweeping history of North America places Indigenous nations—not European colonizers—at the center of the continent’s story. Spanning centuries of diplomacy, warfare, trade, migration, and cultural exchange, it reveals how Native powers shaped the political and economic landscape while responding to the pressures of colonial expansion. The narrative challenges the assumption that conquest was inevitable, emphasizing Indigenous resilience, strategic adaptation, and enduring sovereignty. Broad in scope and revisionist in perspective, the book offers a vivid rethinking of one of the defining struggles in modern history.
