Indigenous history is essential to understanding the evolution of modern America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ned Blackhawk interweaves five centuries of Native and non‑Native histories, from Spanish colonial exploration to the rise of Native American self-determination in the late twentieth century.
