History Book Club hybrid meeting

An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz is the February book for the History Book Club. Join in person at the Civic Center Library in the Board Room or via Zoom: https://bit.ly/lplhbc on February 17 at 7 p.m. Registration is not necessary to attend in person or on Zoom.

Book Summary: "Today in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally-recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Now historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire. In An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States, Dunbar-Ortiz challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them."
